How it works
How bidding works: three steps from notice to submission
Built for small teams without a bid department.
1
Find the work
Browse live UK public sector contracts by region and sector, filter by what you actually do. Sign up free and open the original government notice for any contract.
2
Generate your draft
One click builds a structured response: requirements, social value, modern slavery and a company overview, with your business details filled in.
3
Finish and submit
Edit the draft into your own words, add your evidence and pricing, and submit through the buyer's portal. You control every word.

Why we built this
I kept meeting small UK trades and service businesses who could clearly do the work, but never bid for it. Small firms often do not have an in-house bid team or a spare week to decode a selection questionnaire.
The paperwork can stop capable firms from taking part. That did not seem right.
123 Tenders is our attempt at a fix: searchable contracts, analysis and drafting tools in one account. Any generated draft is a starting point, not a finished submission. You still bring the evidence, the pricing and the final words.
