For IT and digital suppliers

Your people on the work, not the tender.

Jonty finds the public sector IT, software and digital contracts that fit your team, reads the tender pack, writes the bid with you and submits it once you approve.

For software houses, digital agencies and IT services firms who sell to government departments, the NHS, councils and universities, or want to.

Read what the film says

An 84-second film. A voice speaks over footage of people building digital services, then over Jonty’s screens, which follow one contract from the day Jonty spots it to the day it is submitted. The voice is quoted. The other words on screen are listed under it.

  1. Short shots of people at work: a man at a planning board of sticky notes, a young man typing beside screens of code, a city from above, someone in a white coat typing on a laptop, and young people at computers in a library. Four kinds of buyer then appear one by one.

    You build what public services run on.

    In 2023, the public sector spent about £26bn on digital and data.

  2. A woman works at a laptop in a dim room lit by a lamp. Paper slips land beside her: a supplier portal sign-in, a security questionnaire with empty answer boxes, and then two locked framework tiles.

    But every bid makes you prove it again.

    Another portal, another security questionnaire, the same answers in a new format.

    And a lot of the work goes through frameworks you’re not on, like G-Cloud.

  3. The picture cuts to a plain cream screen. An orange dot drops in and becomes the full stop of the Jonty wordmark, with “Bid Manager” under it.

    Meet Jonty Bid Manager.

  4. An orange orb sits beside a company profile card that fills in, row by row, with ticks. Then a card shows a contract coming up for tender again, and the orange dot taps the line that says how early it is.

    Tell it what you build.

    It spots contracts coming back to market, often months before the tender.

  5. A keyword alert lists three wrong matches, and each one is struck out. Then an email from Jonty arrives with the same tender, as a match that fits.

    Then it emails you the ones that fit.

  6. One card fills in: the tender documents read, five hard gates that tick one by one, and the verdict in a dark pill. A short shot follows of a team round a screen of code, with one person pointing.

    It reads the tender pack, checks you hold Cyber Essentials Plus, and says: bid, or pass.

  7. A draft answer shows a source next to each claim, and a pale yellow box marks a missing figure. Then an approval card: a pointer labelled “You” clicks Approve, and the status changes to Submitted.

    It drafts from your past bids and evidence, so you’re not proving it from scratch. Where proof is missing, it leaves a gap.

    You approve. Jonty submits.

  8. A card for one framework says if it is worth joining and what it takes. Three needs get a tick, and the fourth stays open with a dashed circle.

    And it tells you which frameworks are worth joining.

  9. People talk at a desk, then a woman points at code on a screen as two others look on. The film ends on a cream card: the Jonty wordmark with its orange full stop, “Bid Manager” under it, and a dark button with the web address.

    Jonty does the paperwork. You do the work.

Sound familiar?

Technology firms are used to proving what they can build. Public sector bids ask them to prove it again, in a different format, every time.

  • “Every buyer seems to use a different portal.”

    Digital work is advertised on Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, regional portals and framework . Keeping up means checking them all, every week.

  • “Half the alerts that match our keywords aren't for us.”

    Keyword alerts catch every notice that mentions software or digital, so someone spends hours sifting before anyone reads a spec.

  • “The security questions alone take days.”

    Buyers ask about data protection, accessibility, information security and certifications such as Cyber Essentials. The answers sit with different people, and the bid waits on all of them.

  • “Most of the work goes through frameworks we're not on.”

    A lot of public sector digital work is bought through such as G-Cloud. If you're not on them, the work never reaches you.
