Key Capabilities

What it does

Kanban Pipeline View

Drag-and-drop cards between customisable pipeline stages. Colour-coded deadline indicators turning from green to yellow to red as due dates approach. Card preview showing authority, value, deadline, and assigned team members. Collapsible stage columns with card count and aggregate pipeline value.

Table View

Sort by any field: deadline, value, authority, CPV code, stage, or assignee. Multi-select and bulk-move opportunities between stages. Inline editing for quick updates. CSV export for pipeline review meetings and management reporting.

Custom Stage Gates

Create stages with defined entry and exit criteria matching your bid management process. Mandatory checklist items that must be completed before advancing, such as bid/no-bid decision documented. Automatic notifications when opportunities meet stage-gate criteria.

Bottleneck Detection

AI-powered analysis of pipeline velocity by stage. Alerts when opportunities exceed average stage duration. Team workload balancing showing which bid managers are overloaded. Historical pipeline analytics showing conversion rates between stages.

How it Works

Simple steps to get started

1

Import tenders from Smart Search or enter manually

Tenders from Bidovate's discovery feed can be added to the pipeline in one click, or entered manually. Each tender gets a workspace automatically with the tender documents attached.

2

Assign bid managers and set deadlines

Assign team members, set submission deadlines, and add notes to each pursuit. Colour-coded deadline indicators update in real time.

3

Move opportunities through your pipeline

Drag cards between stages as pursuit activities progress. Stage gates prompt your team to complete required actions before advancing.

4

Review bottleneck alerts

Bottleneck alerts fire when pursuits stall at a stage. Pipeline analytics show conversion rates and average stage durations for continuous process improvement.

Why it Matters

The problem this solves

Public sector bid teams run their pipelines across spreadsheets, shared drives, email threads, and sticky notes. Workflow Management replaces that collection of disconnected tools with a single workspace that enforces your bid management process.
