Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about the free tool, privacy of analysis, and where outbound links go.
Is Should I Bid? free?
Yes. The evaluation tool is free and does not require an account.
Is this professional advice?
No. Results support thinking and are not professional, financial, or legal advice. You remain responsible for bid decisions.
Where is my tender text analysed?
Analysis may run in your browser with heuristic rules and/or via a same-origin proxy on shouldibid.com that forwards limited fields to the Alle Gewerke backend (same operator). API keys never appear in the page. See the privacy notice for categories, retention, and your rights.
Why do I see Alle Gewerke or TenderHub?
After the free check, outbound links hand you to a regional product that lists real tenders. Browser language starting with “de” routes to Alle Gewerke; other languages route to TenderHub.
Who operates Should I Bid?
Should I Bid? is operated by Ibis Flow GmbH. It is a distribution and decision-aid surface for Alle Gewerke and TenderHub — not a substitute for those platforms.
