Read what the film says

A one-minute film with music and no speech. From the first second, a counter in the top right counts up at the average rate in the first footnote. Under the figure it says: spent by UK public bodies since you pressed play*

  1. A city square, seen from straight above.

    Every minute, UK public bodies spend around £750,000 on goods and services.

    *Average rate, based on £395bn procurement spend in 2024/25. Source: House of Commons Library, July 2026.

  2. People at work: a laundry, a kitchen, a workshop, a lab bench with a microscope, two scientists testing samples, a cleaner mopping a floor, road works at night and a woman at her desk. A card in the top left names each job.

    Councils, schools and hospitals need work done.

  3. The office goes dark. The music drops away as bid papers pile up, one after another.

    But first, there's a contract to find. And a bid to write.

    • Part 1 of 3: Selection questionnaire
    • Max 1,500 words: Method statement
    • Weighted 10%: Social value response
    • Appendix C: Pricing schedule
    • Max 1,000 words: Quality question 4.2
    • Evidence required: Insurance & accreditations
    • Three required: Case studies

    A stamp lands on the pile: Deadline: Friday 12:00.

  4. The pile shrinks into an orange dot, which is Jonty, over a suspension bridge. The full score comes back in. Then solar panels, seen from above.

    Jonty finds the contract and writes the bid. You approve.

  5. A city at dusk fills with labels: Laundry & linen, Catering, Joinery & repairs, Renewable energy, Equipment repair, Laboratory services, Software & IT, Cleaning services, Civil engineering, Road maintenance. They fade, and the orange dot rests on the horizon.

  6. The end card, on cream: the Jonty wordmark, with the orange dot as its full stop.

    Jonty does the paperwork. You do the work.

    Under it, the running total carries on, from about £700,000 to past £740,000 as the film fades out. After the figure it says: spent by UK public bodies while you watched.* Its footnote: *Average rate, based on £395bn procurement spend in 2024/25. Source: House of Commons Library.

Questions people ask

What is Jonty?

Jonty is an AI bid manager for UK and EU public sector contracts. It finds the contracts that fit your business, reads the tender paperwork, writes the bid with you and submits it on the buyer's portal once you approve.

What does Jonty cost?

Scout is £99 per seat a month and Bid Manager is £399 per company a month. Both run on a rolling term: Scout is billed £297 per seat every 3 months, and Bid Manager £1,197 every 3 months. Scout starts with a 21-day free trial, no card needed. For a larger team, ask us about Enterprise.

Do I need a card or a demo to start?

Not for Scout. Sign up, spend 7 minutes telling Jonty what you do in a chat or a call, and your first matches arrive the same day. Bid Manager starts with a short call with the founders.

Who is Jonty for?

Anyone who sells to the public sector, or wants to. Some customers have never bid before, and others run a full bid team. Jonty explains the jargon when you need it, and takes the slow work off a busy bid desk when you don't.

Which sources does Jonty cover?

In the UK: Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and EU-Supply. Larger contracts in Northern Ireland reach Jonty through Find a Tender. In the EU: TED, the EU's official journal, which you switch on in Settings. EU notices are translated into English.

Can Jonty write and submit the bid for me?

Yes, with Bid Manager. Jonty drafts the bid from your evidence. Once you approve it, Jonty fills in the buyer's portal and submits it before the deadline. Nothing goes to a buyer without your OK.

Can Jonty help with frameworks?

Yes. For the frameworks you're on, their call-offs appear with your other contracts. For the ones you're not on, Jonty tells you whether each is worth joining, gathers what you need, and fills in and submits the application once you approve.

How is Jonty different from other tender tools?

Most tender tools are dashboards: they show you what's out there and leave the rest to you. Jonty does the work. It finds the right contracts, reads the paperwork, writes and submits the bid with you, and explains each step in plain English.

Is my data safe?

Yes. It's stored in the UK, encrypted, and never sold or used to train AI models. The detail is on our security page.
