Free tools for every stage of a bid
Winning public sector work is a process: find the right opportunities, decide which to pursue, plan the timeline, price it properly and write a compliant response. These calculators help at each step, with no sign-up and nothing leaving your browser.
They're built around UK procurement — the Procurement Act 2023 timescales, CPV classification, social value weighting and framework rate cards — so the numbers reflect how public buyers actually evaluate and award. For the parts that can't be done with a calculator, FastTender automates the rest.
