Blisters

Pricing

Priced in plain sight.

You see the number before you type a word. We are never the software that asks for money at the end for what you thought you were already getting. That's a shiny-bum move, and we've been on the wrong end of it too.

A tender consultant starts at about $2,950 + tax for one tender. Blisters is $149 for your first, and from $199 a month after that. Every plan below comes with unlimited users — bring the whole office, we don't count heads.

Yours to keep

Once you're in, we only ever give.

Nothing on a subscription is ever taken away, rationed or raced. Every tender we find in your patch lands in your workspace. Unused jobs bank for 90 days. Your vault — licences, insurances, referees, past answers — is yours, and it stays current whether you're bidding this month or not.

Cancel any month and take your vault with you — every document and every answer, exported. No exit fee, no phone call, no hoops — type hooroo and you're done. If you come back, it's all still there.

Straight answers

The things people ask Ben.

How did you get my email?

From public sources — usually your website, an industry directory, or a council's published supplier list — because a specific tender matched what your business does. We record where we found it and when. One email, one follow-up if you don't reply, then we stop until the next tender that's actually relevant. Never a newsletter.

Do you submit the tender for us?

No. We draft, you submit. The pack downloads in the council's own file names and you lodge it on their portal under your own account. It's your bid, your signature, your relationship with the buyer.

Did a robot write this?

The reading and the first draft, yes — that's what makes $149 possible. But every fact carries its source (document, page, clause), a second pass checks the first, and a person checks every closing date and mandatory requirement before you see it. One wrong close date would finish us, so we treat it that way.

Do you invite my competitors too?

Sometimes two or three businesses that could all win a job hear about it. Never a blast — the invitation is an endorsement, and we only send it when we reckon you can win. Each business's workspace is sealed from the others. Nothing you tell us is ever visible to anyone else's bid.

Will you tell me if I shouldn't bid?

Yes, and we mean it. If you'd be knocked out on a mandatory, or the job's a bad fit, the workspace says so up front. We'd rather you skip one than waste an evening on a bid that can't win.

What do you do with my documents?

Keep them safe, keep them current, and use them only for your bids. They live in your workspace and nowhere else. Ask us to delete everything and it's gone — immediately, or as near as makes no difference — see Privacy.

We only do a couple of tenders a year. Still worth it?

Probably, because tenders are the smallest part of it. The same vault writes your quotes and proposals — the strata job, the school maintenance contract, the builder who wants a method statement. If you send a document to win work more than once a month, that's where the subscription pays for itself. The tenders are the bonus.

What if we don't win?

Then you've got a response you can reuse, an evidence file that's mostly done, and the next one takes a fraction of the time. We don't charge success fees, so there's no incentive for us to push you at jobs you can't win.

Can we just talk to someone?

Yes. Ring or email and a person answers — for now that's usually Ben, who built it. If it's about money, a contract clause, or what the council's likely to do, it's never a bot.
