FAQ

Is this bid writing?

Should You Bid and Check My Bid are advice and review. Write My Bid is a written submission we prepare from your answers — still your bid, your pricing, and you send it in on GETS.

Do you guarantee wins?

No — nobody can promise a win, and we don’t quote win rates. We make one promise on every package: If we miss a mandatory requirement that was in the tender documents, and you're excluded because of it, we refund you in full. See the conditions. Winning still depends on your capability, your price and the buyer.

Isn’t the government tender site (GETS) free already?

Yes — GETS is free, and registered suppliers can get email alerts for new contracts in their categories. What we add is judgement: which of those contracts are actually worth your time, what it would take to win one, and help writing the bid.

Is there a subscription?

No. Packages are one-time (NZD, no GST). The weekly tender list is free — unsubscribe anytime.

What if I don’t have a tender in mind yet?

Then don’t buy Should You Bid yet — start with the free shortlist. If you’ve already paid and you have not named a tender, ask us to refund before we begin work and we refund in full (see Refunds). Or reply to your confirmation email and we’ll help you pick one from what’s currently open in your trade and region. You won’t be left holding a report you can’t use.

What if the answer is “don’t bid”?

That’s still a useful answer, and you still get the full report. Knowing a tender isn’t winnable before you spend three evenings on it is exactly what the $149 is for. We’d rather tell you not to bid than take $890 for a submission that was never going to score.
