Know whether to bid before you read sixty pages.
Open care contracts are pulled from Contracts Finder and scored against your company profile, so the ones worth your week rise to the top. Each score comes with its reason, and a requirement you cannot meet is flagged as a blocker rather than quietly costing you a few points.
What this replaces today
- Checking the portal on a Monday, or not checking it, and hearing about a contract from a competitor instead.
- Reading a full specification to work out basic eligibility, then finding on page fifty that the lot needs a registration you do not hold.
- Bidding for the wrong things because the pipeline was whatever somebody happened to see: too far away, too large, outside what you are registered for.
- A spreadsheet of opportunities that was accurate the week it was made.
How it works
The feed comes to you
Open contracts are pulled from Contracts Finder and kept current, filtered to care. You are not monitoring a portal; you are reading a list that is already about your sector.
Each one is scored against your profile
Four weighted dimensions, each with a sentence explaining the number rather than a bare score out of a hundred: service match at 50, geography at 30, public sector experience at 10 and financial standing at 10.
Start the bid without rekeying anything
An opportunity worth pursuing moves into your own pipeline in one step, carrying its details with it, ready for the gap analysis and the Bid Writer.
What you get
A blocker is not a low score
Some requirements are gates rather than points: a registration you do not hold, an area you do not cover. Those are called out separately, because that is a go or no-go decision, and averaging it into a percentage hides the one thing you needed to know.
The score is recomputed every time you look
Scoring is a pure calculation over the tender and your profile, so it is never cached and cannot drift. Finish your company profile on Tuesday and every match score is different on Tuesday, not whenever something last happened to refresh.
The gap analysis runs on the real opportunity
Required policies and documentation are checked against what you actually hold, so you learn what is missing while there is still time to write it rather than the week before submission.
One click from a gap to the work
Anything missing becomes either a generated policy or a task assigned to somebody, without leaving the tender.
Colour means the same here as in the product
Seventy and above is green, forty and above amber, below that red. Those are the same thresholds the app uses, so a score means one thing wherever you see it.
What stops it going wrong
An unfinished profile is told, not flattered
Twelve profile fields drive the match score. With none of them set the score falls back to a generic one and says so, rather than producing a confident number based on nothing.
The reason is always shown with the number
A score you cannot interrogate is a score you cannot act on. Each dimension carries a plain-English explanation, so you can disagree with it.
Nothing is submitted on your behalf
ELSA surfaces, scores and drafts. Deciding to bid, and pressing submit on the portal, stays with you.
Who it is for
Every paid plan
For providers who want local authority and NHS work and have nobody whose job is watching portals.
The match score is only as good as your company profile: service types, coverage, typical contract size and turnover are what it reads.
