One dashboard, every client's tenders — not one account per organisation
Multibid is a product in development for Independent Government Tender Bid Writers and Consultants.
The problem
Independent Government Tender Bid Writers and Consultants
For independent bid-writing consultants juggling several small-business clients, each chasing different tenders in different categories and jurisdictions.
- The affordable tender-alert tools are built for one organisation watching its own category, not a consultant tracking several separate clients at once.
- The only option built for managing multiple clients is priced for a reseller platform, not a solo consultant with a handful of clients.
- Professional bid writing fees run into the thousands per bid, so missing a matching tender for a client is a direct hit to income, not just an inconvenience.
The evidence
Researched before anything is built
How it scores
1 documented complaints about the tools they use today
Based on 4 direct quotes from 3 independent public sites, each recorded with its source. Scores are 1–5, rated from that evidence.

The product
Multibid
Multibid gives each of your clients their own profile — keywords, categories, jurisdictions — and shows you one dashboard split by client, so you always know which client has a new matching tender and which deadlines are closing soon. Built for a consultant with a handful of clients, not a reseller platform.
- 01
Add a profile for each client — their keywords, categories and jurisdictions.
- 02
Multibid watches AusTender and state tender portals for matches against every client profile.
- 03
See one dashboard split by client: new matches, closing dates, and what needs a shortlist this week.
Market size
TAM, SAM and SOM
- TAMTotal market
- A$412K a year700+ bid managers and writers on one Australian and NZ talent database × A$588 a year — a lower bound. Bid-writing recruiter's database (vendor figure)
- SAMServiceable market
- A$247K a yearAn assumed 60% who are independents juggling several small-business clients.
- SOMObtainable in 3 years
- A$4.9K a year2% of the serviceable market — about 8 consultants — within three years.
No official count of bid writers exists; the 700+ figure is one recruiter's database and a lower bound. Sizes assume the working price of A$49 a month for up to 10 clients (A$588 a year), which isn't validated yet. The 60% and 2% shares are assumptions, not forecasts.
