FAQs
When should I use a bid/no-bid scorecard?
Use it as soon as you receive or find a tender, before investing bid-writing time. It forces an objective decision on fit, eligibility, deliverability and profit.
What score means we should bid?
As a guide, 70%+ is a clear bid, below 50% a no-bid, and the middle band depends on capacity and strategic value. Adjust the weights to your business.
