Brefi, on the monthly plan
Based on ~7 hours a week of manual searching, cut by ~80%. The labour saving is the small story. Run it on your own figures →
Priced as if you bought each apart
Brefi isn't a tender feed with extras bolted on. It's six jobs that agencies usually buy, build, or badly cobble together from separate vendors, bundled into one morning habit. Assembled yourself, the right-hand column is roughly what the market charges, month after month.
Every UK and EU source (Contracts Finder, Find a Tender, Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales, TED) watched hourly, deduplicated, scored against your CPV codes and keywords, and graded A, B or C.
A re-tender calendar for the major frameworks, auto-detected from live tender notices, so you prepare months before the window opens.
Move every opportunity from Interested to Bidding to Submitted to Won, per person, across every profile. A bid CRM, without the CRM invoice.
Up to five logins on one subscription. Shared filter profiles, individual sign-ins, individual pipelines. Priced elsewhere per seat, here it is not.
Two-factor auth, GDPR self-service, a consent log, UK-hosted, with Cyber Essentials and subcontracting clauses flagged in every brief.
Preset-guided setup, up to 25 profiles, unlimited filters, and one-click CSV or PDF export you can forward to the bid team.
Assembled separately, near enough
Based on published 2026 rates for comparable standalone tools, a tender-alert subscription, a market-intelligence tier and a five-seat CRM. Check it against your own numbers →
In every subscription
The extras that usually cost more, or a phone call to "sales". Here they're just part of it.
A scorecard that tells you, before you pay, whether Brefi will actually surface work for your CPV mix.
Pick your sector and Brefi pre-loads the CPV codes and keywords, so day one is a real brief, not a blank form.
The kind of intelligence that usually sits behind an enterprise contract. Yours from the first login.
CSV and printable PDF of any day's brief, ready to forward to the bid team or drop into an audit file.

What manual searching costs you
£10,400/ year
260 hours a year, billed at internal rate. Real salary, real opportunity cost.
What Brefi costs
£948/ year
At £79/month. Drop to £588/year if you switch to annual prepay. Up to five team logins, no per-seat metering.
Net saving on labour alone
£7,720/ year
Brefi reduces routine searching by ~80%. Someone still reads the brief, but they're picking from a shortlist, not building one.
The bigger lever, one extra win
One contract you'd otherwise have missed pays for Brefi for 83 years.
At your stated contract value of £50,000, the labour savings are the small story. Brefi exists to surface what you'd otherwise overlook, that's where the return compounds.
Now the punchline
What 10× bidding capacity could do
Stop spending hours building shortlists and you can bid on the opportunities you're seeing. 2 wins/year at £50,000 is £100,000 in pipeline today. With Brefi clearing the search bottleneck, here's what a year could look like:
Today
£100,000
Your stated 2 wins this year, at your stated contract value.
Conservative · 5× bids, half hit rate
£500,000
More bidding usually means a slightly lower hit rate (marginal bids are weaker). Even if it halves, the volume more than compensates.
Stretch · 10× bids, same hit rate
£1,000,000
If your win rate holds because Brefi is surfacing better-qualified opportunities, which is the design, the headline scales linearly.
£948/year (or £588 if you prepay annually) is rounding error against either column. The honest question isn't can you afford Brefi?, it's can you afford another year of leaving these contracts on the table?
Assumptions: 52 working weeks/year, Brefi reduces routine search effort by ~80%, the "extra win" line is contract value ÷ £948, and the revenue scenarios above hold your current contract value constant while scaling bid volume (5× and 10×) with two hit-rate assumptions. None are guarantees, every business will hit a different number. The point is the order of magnitude.
