Would your accounts pass the financial-standing test?
Most public-sector tenders quietly screen out bidders on their finances before anyone reads a word of the quality answers — turnover thresholds, ratios, net assets. It is where good firms lose winnable work.
Run the free check below on your own figures. It takes a minute and tells you where you would stand — including if the answer is no.
Enter your last accounts and the contract size. Nothing is stored or sent until you choose to see the full breakdown.
Financial sections done right
I write the parts of the response that trip most firms up — done by a chartered accountant, so the numbers stand up to scrutiny.
- Financial-standing questions answered correctly, matched to the buyer's thresholds
- Your key ratios calculated and presented the way evaluators expect
- The pricing schedule built and sense-checked so it is complete and competitive
- A clear financial method statement or narrative where the tender asks for one
- A plain flag of any weakness before you submit, with how to position it
- Turnaround in 5 working days
- Paid on completion
- One point of contact
