Your fit report, explained

Every matched tender in Tenderoo has a fit report: one page holding what you need to decide whether the tender deserves your time. This page walks through it section by section.

The header: the tender at a glance

The top of the report carries the facts of the tender itself: the buyer, the estimated value, the closing date, and a link to the official notice at source, so you can verify everything against the original. Alongside them sits your fit score out of 100 with its band (strong, good, moderate or low fit). What goes into that score, and how to read it, is covered in the guide on fit scoring.

Fit by lot

If the tender is split into lots, the report shows your fit for each lot separately, because your fit usually differs by lot. One strong lot inside an otherwise mixed contract is a genuine opportunity, and bidding a single lot is often the realistic route into a large contract. If you go on to bid, the lots you select scope the rest of your preparation.

Why it's relevant

Plain-English reasons for the fit: the overlap between the tender's scope and your services, the geography, your track record where it applies. These are the sentences to test against your own knowledge of your business. If a reason looks wrong, your profile probably needs correcting.

Supplier fit

A factor-by-factor view of the fit: service match, location, capacity, public-sector experience, deadline and strategic relevance. This is where you see what is carrying the score and what is holding it down.

Possible blockers

What stands between you and a credible bid: missing evidence, a capacity mismatch, a tight deadline. Blockers are deliberately blunt. Some are fixable before the deadline and some are not, and knowing which is which is most of the bid or no-bid decision.

Within reach: the potential panel

Where your profile has fixable gaps and the tender is genuinely in your line of work, the report shows your potential score: what this tender could score once the gaps are filled, with the specific steps that get you there. The potential score has its own guide.

The decision

Each report carries a recommendation and a decision: track this tender or pass on it. Tracking keeps it in your list with the deadline in view. Passing records that you looked and chose not to bid, which is a real decision worth remembering when the contract comes round again. On the Bid plan, a tracked tender carries on into bid preparation.

What each plan sees

On the free plan you get the full report for your top match; other matches are listed, but their full analysis (the fit breakdown, reasons and blockers) is locked, and you can still track or pass on them. The Match plan opens the full report on every matching tender. Details of the plans are on the pricing page.
