WorkBank

Everything WorkBank does

One platform for the whole subcontract lifecycle — find it, win it, record it, prove it.

The full capability catalogue, for buyers and suppliers alike. Each tool below is labelled by who it helps. Walt, our AI bid companion, drafts, checks and chases on both sides — but the human approves every step and owns the result.

SEE more work

Every portal, every inbox, one feed — the work you can win finds you, instead of living in ten logins.

Qualified opportunities, to you

Packages matched to what you do, the moment they go live. If a buyer asks for an accreditation you do not hold yet, you still see the work and can still bid — you are told what to obtain before award.

Opportunity Radar — Walt watches your portals

Walt support

Forward your portal alert emails (ProContract, Delta, Contracts Finder, Find a Tender, In-Tend, Jaggaer and more — ten portals supported) to your unique WorkBank address. Walt reads every alert, scores its relevance to your firm 0–100, and surfaces the ones worth your time — one feed instead of ten inboxes.

Connect your inbox

Walt support

Connect your Microsoft 365 mailbox (read-only — sending is impossible on the connection) and Walt finds the tenders, clients and outcomes already sitting in it: 90 days in full, three years of headers. Nothing is added to your records without your click. Blocked by IT? Import an Outlook export file instead.

Market news wire

11 verified sources (GOV.UK, New Civil Engineer, Railway Gazette, Construction News and more), refreshed daily — nothing older than 96 hours survives. Stories clustered and summarised in our own words. Market moves ≥ £100m pinned to the top. The consequence engine tags stories against your client pipeline.

Capacity noticeboard

Post spare capacity or the capacity you need — matched against known disciplines across the network. A structured board, not a forum.

Industry events

A curated feed of conferences, Meet the Buyer events and sector seminars. Add to calendar in one click. Rail Calendar powered by RBD Ultimate.

Morning Briefing

A daily brief on your Terminal home: Needs You items, pipeline summary, upcoming deadlines and a one-line market move. Delivered by email digest too, on your schedule.

BID more work

A bid in hours, not weeks. Same team, five times the bids — drafted from what your firm already holds.

A full bid workspace

Walt support

Drop the ITT bundle and Walt works it stage by stage: assess the scope, review the contract, build or critique your programme and commercial, answer the technical questions, and draft the offer letter — all from your real track record. You review, edit and submit.

Fee proposals in your own template

Walt support

Paste any tender — from any portal or inbox — and Walt drafts a priced fee proposal inside your firm's own Word template, layout preserved page for page. You review every figure.

Pipeline & Pursuit tracker

Log every bid — WorkBank, external portals or prospect conversations — in one view. Import your existing tracker by xlsx, csv or paste. Walt proposes column mapping; you confirm every field. Filter by stage, origin or decision date.

Tracker link-sync

Already keep a tracker in a shared sheet? Connect it and changes are staged for your approval daily — your sheet stays yours.

Walt's brain — knowledge & library

Capture your firm's profile and house style, and store winning tenders, boilerplate, CVs and client feedback once. Walt writes in your voice — and gets sharper the more you add.

Company Record

Everything the firm IS — credentials, case studies, CVs, rates — kept once, feeding every bid. Includes a house CV format: drop any CV and it comes back in your own template.

Credential tracking

Walt support

Upload each certification and insurance once; expiry is tracked, renewals reminded, and Walt checks each certificate against what you've stated. Stop re-sending documents.

Compliance Passport & Tier 1 credential pack

Your credentials, declarations, Companies House status and environmental profile in one place — exported as a structured Word pack formatted for Tier 1 supplier registration (the SourceDogg problem, solved), with a cover-letter template for reaching procurement teams directly.

WIN more work

Drafted from your real track record, priced from your real wins — and every outcome makes the next bid sharper.

Learns from your own wins

Walt offers your most similar past winning bid as a baseline — its approach, style and commercial first pass. Only ever your own work, never anyone else's.

Win Intelligence

Win rate by client, discipline and origin (minimum 3 in each cohort, sample sizes shown). Average decision time. Outcome notes searchable. Evidence grade explicit — recorded awards vs reported outcomes.

Warm paths & co-bidders

See who your network already knows at a target client — imported from your own LinkedIn export, matched to your world — and which firms complement you on a package you can't fully self-deliver.

Chase engine

Walt drafts outcome-chasing messages after the decision date. You choose the send path — prefilled mailto, platform message or via WorkBank. Hard cap at two follow-ups per bid; snooze 7 days. Every chase lands in Needs You — nothing sends without you.

Then win the next one on your record

Every award is recorded, building the track record that brings repeat and negotiated work back to you — invited off your record, not competing cold.

Every award is recorded

The moment work is placed it's on your record — client, value, discipline, date. That record is what brings repeat and negotiated work back to you — invited off your track record rather than competing in open tender.

Client Book & pipeline forecast

Every client relationship in one place — win rates, cooling clients, repeat-work prompts, and a forecast built from your live pipeline.

A reputation that compounds

Every confirmed delivery is recorded against the award — a track record of real jobs completed and repeat work that can't be gamed.

Shop Window

An opt-in public profile page for your firm. Your recorded track record, visible where buyers look.

Looking for work

Toggle your availability and an optional note, and show up when buyers search for firms that are free. Names and track record only — your contacts stay protected.

Multi-disciplinary cascade

Win a package you can't fully self-deliver? Take the gaps to market in bid-support mode — matched quotes, no fees until you win, and you earn the rebate downstream.

Free to be seen; Solo to bid

Creating a profile and being seen by buyers is free. Expressing interest and bidding are part of a Solo subscription. A one-off introduction fee applies only when you win your first award from a new buyer.

For buyers

Place work with confidence

Work-givers and contractors: reach an accredited, credential-checked supply chain, compare bids like-for-like, record awards, earn rebates and track SME spend.

Quick Scope — post in 2 minutes

Walt support

For simple works, skip the wizard: describe the job in plain English and Walt writes a clean one-page scope you publish to matching suppliers.

Post once, reach every capable firm

Notifications reach the suppliers whose capability matches the work. Credentials you require are named to them as something to have in place before award — never used to keep them off the list. No ring-rounds, no noise.

Three routes, one record

Open the market, invite a selective shortlist, or record a direct award. All three feed the same recorded ledger, reports and rebate.

Controlled messaging, full audit trail

Buyer↔supplier messages open only once a real relationship exists — a submitted bid or a shortlisting — and every thread stays on the record. No cold-poaching, no side channels.

Procurement standards & buyer quality

Set your social-value, payment and environmental expectations once. Fair-paying, SV-committed buyers earn quality badges suppliers can see.

Sealed tender rooms

Enterprise

Host the tender here: published weighted criteria, anonymised Q&A, and bids sealed by the database itself until the deadline — nobody can peek, including you.

Bid review & normalisation

Walt support

When bids land, Walt reads each one against your scope, normalises them like-for-like, flags exclusions and ranks a first pass on cost and quality. You decide — Walt only supports the call.

Meet the Buyer

All buyers

Host open or selective events — conference sessions, portal days, site visits. Notify matching suppliers by discipline and credential gate. Selective mode lets you review applicants; credential-gated mode automates the check. Attendees download .ics; event registration feeds your supply chain report.

Award recommendation pack

Walt support

One-click .docx from a levelling result: scope, bidders, normalised comparison, scores against your rubric, recommendation framed as data supporting your judgement, audit trail appendix (dates, invitees, EOIs, message counts). The governance document you currently write by hand.

Deadline Horizon

A third view on Packages — month-by-month timeline showing days-to-gate runway chips for every active package. Pair with the Pipeline Board to manage multiple procurements in flight.

The more you award, the more you earn

Up to 3% of your recorded spend rebated back — rising with your tier, reaching the full supplier fee on Enterprise. It accrues on every award you record.

SME & social value reporting

Your SME spend report compiled automatically from every recorded award — formatted for ESG disclosures and public-sector reporting.

VFM benchmarking

Assurance

Direct awards come with benchmark statements drawn from comparable recorded packages — data supporting your value-for-money judgement, audit-ready.

Find suppliers

Search firms flagged as looking for work, by discipline, region and recorded track record. Found one? Invite them to a package — contacts release through the recorded flow.

Multi-disciplinary, your way

One supplier to deliver everything, or split the work into a package per discipline under one project — each notifying its own qualified market.

Walt — support only

Your AI bid companion, on both sides

Walt drafts, checks, normalises and chases — he never posts, scores, signs or submits. Optional, human-checked, never responsible. Each tool below is tagged for the side it serves.

Drop the doc, draft the package

Buyers

Buyers drag in a scope PDF or Word doc; Walt drafts the title, brief, disciplines, credential gates and dates — and flags the gaps bidders would ask about. You review and post.

Read the 200-page ITT

Suppliers

Suppliers get a one-page first-pass brief of a huge buyer scope in seconds: deliverables, disciplines, dates, risks and the questions to raise — instead of hours reading cold.

Draft bids from your real work

Suppliers

Offer letters into your own template (or a standard branded one), and separate technical-response files — never invented, every claim flagged, commercials always left with you.

Critique what you upload

Suppliers

Prefer your own programme or pricing? Upload it and Walt critiques it against the ITT — sequencing, float, completeness, arithmetic and compliance — without replacing your expertise.

Answer the technical questions

Suppliers

Walt extracts every technical question from the ITT and drafts a grounded answer from your real track record, flagging — not filling — anything the evidence doesn't cover.

Build your Social Value Score

Suppliers

A 10-minute conversation produces a TOMS-aligned Social Value Score and certificate — which Walt then reuses to strengthen every bid.

Review & normalise the bids

Buyers

Reads every sealed bid against the scope and criteria, normalises them and ranks a first pass. Decision support — you make every call.

Check the certificates

Both

Reads an uploaded certificate and checks it against what was claimed — type, cover amount, holder, expiry — flagging discrepancies for the human reviewer.

Build your profile

Both

Point Walt at your website and dump in capability statements; he drafts your summary, disciplines and case studies for you to review and apply.

Do the chasing

Both

Outcome reminders, credential expiry warnings, CV refresh nudges — the ring-round happens nightly, without anyone picking up a phone.

Support only, you decide

Both

Walt drafts, reads, flags and reminds — he never posts, scores, signs or submits. Optional, human-checked, never responsible. Pay-as-you-go credits, nothing hidden.

Social value, built in

Score it once, prove it on every bid

National TOMS social value — evidenced for suppliers, reported automatically for buyers. Typically 10–20% of the marks in public procurement.

Your TOMS Social Value Score

Suppliers

A National TOMS-aligned score per £1m of turnover, and a Bronze, Silver or Gold tier — from a 10-minute conversation with Walt, using your real activity.

A shareable certificate

Suppliers

A professional certificate and a public link to include in any tender or share with an end client.

Know exactly how to improve

Suppliers

Walt names your weakest themes, the uplift available, and real partner links to help — never invented, always specific.

Carbon Reduction Plan assistant

Suppliers

Walt drafts a credible PPN 06/21 Carbon Reduction Plan from five simple questions — for the contracts that require one.

Supply-chain reporting, automatic

Buyers

Every award's social value is calculated for you. Buyers get a live dashboard and a one-click Supply Chain Social Value Report for their end client.

Require a minimum tier

Buyers

Set a minimum Social Value tier on a package and see it checked against every supplier you shortlist.

For both sides

Trust & integrity — the rules that make it work

The guarantees that make WorkBank credible to a conservative supply chain — recorded once, enforced by the database, public from day one.

The recorded ledger

Every award recorded once and built on by both sides — the spine of reputation, reporting, rebates and benchmarks.

Contacts are never browsable

Names are searchable; contact details release only through a shortlist, an accepted invitation or a recorded award. No harvestable directory.

Sealed bids, enforced by the database

No early-open button exists. The platform physically refuses to surface a bid — or its documents — before the deadline.

Credential tracking, not auditing

Documents are reviewed on submission and expiry-tracked; Walt flags discrepancies. All parties still do their own due diligence — we say what we are, and aren't.

A published tariff

Every fee, rebate and split is public from day one, including the prices founding members transition to. Nothing changes by announcement.

Enforcement without invoices

Late reporting forfeits rebate accrual and pauses new posting — WorkBank holds the rebate balance, so there's nothing to chase.
