Proofworks Ltd  /  The group
Holding company

We don't pitch software. We've already built it.

Proofworks designs, builds and owns production software for industries we've worked in for decades — and puts the same engineering capability to work for clients through our automation studio.

Built by the founder. Proven in production.

How the group works

Two engines. One flywheel.

The products and the studio aren't separate bets — they compound each other.

Software products

Vertical platforms we design, build, own and grow — solving real, painful problems in specific industries. Long-term equity value, and living proof we can ship production systems.

Automation studio

The same engineering capability, put to work for clients: private automations that remove operational friction. Cash today, into pain buyers already feel — and a source of proven patterns for future products.

The products prove we can build. That proof wins studio clients. Studio work funds the next product — and every client build becomes a reusable pattern. Round and round it goes.

The portfolio

Six platforms,
built and running.

Each one started the same way — a process someone was doing by hand, badly, at scale. Examples of what we build, not the limit of it.

01 BIDENGINE

Win more of the work you already bid for.

Bidding · Professional services

Bid teams answer from memory. BidEngine drafts from their own evidence library — every claim traceable to work they actually did.

  • Finds every question, including the buried ones
  • Drafts against the buyer's scoring criteria
  • Catches what loses marks before you submit
Live · growing Visit bidengine.co
BidEngine

The flagship. A full bid workflow — intelligence, gate, draft, score, check — where most tools only do the drafting.

02 AWARD IQ

Score every submission the same way.

Evaluation · Public sector & awards

The other side of the table: scoring that is fast, consistent and defensible, with moderation and sign-off built in.

  • Same criteria on every entry
  • Moderator assigns, then signs off
  • An audit trail that survives challenge

Award IQ

Built single-tenant from day one — evaluation data is sensitive by definition, so it runs in the client's own environment.

03 PROOFSYNC

Prove the job landed in their system.

Facilities management · Contractors

Contractors re-key finished jobs into the client's CAFM and hope it stuck. ProofSync moves it across and reads it back to prove it landed.

  • No double entry between systems
  • Read-back proof the record landed
  • No more monthly completion disputes

ProofSync

An evidence layer above the CAFM — it doesn't replace anyone's system, it makes two of them agree.

04 RIVANT

Stop hunting for the next opportunity.

Energy & decarbonisation · Origination

The data on who needs work doing is public — just scattered across a dozen registers. Rivant turns it into a ranked pipeline.

  • Joins property, energy and company data
  • Ranks by size, not by who shouted
  • Writes the brief, so the first call isn't cold
Rivant

Built for programme origination — finding the work worth doing before it reaches a tender portal.

05 SCOPENOW

Scope a site once, for every technology.

Decarbonisation · Site assessment

Every technology gets its own spreadsheet and its own specialist. ScopeNow assesses a site once, not five times.

  • One flow, every technology
  • Capture site data once, reuse everywhere
  • A client-ready scope, not a spreadsheet
ScopeNow

One platform, many modules — because the hard part of scoping is the site, and the site doesn't change per technology.

06 TERRI

An operator with a login — not a chatbot with a phone number.

Facilities management · Operations

A maintenance helpdesk is a full-time coordinator that never stops. Terri runs the desk — takes the call, raises the job in the CAFM, chases the contractor, and stops for a person when it needs judgement.

  • Takes calls & email, 24/7 — never misses a job
  • Raises, chases and escalates — grounded in your estate
  • Every action auditable; works any CAFM
Terri

The call is about a tenth of her. The rest is operating your system — as a licensed user, authorised by you.

And the studio

The same team will build yours.

Everything above was designed and built by the people you'd be working with. If you've got a process that looks like one of these — manual, repetitive, expensive, and quietly costing you work — that's the studio's job.

Build, partner or invest.

Whether you've got a process to automate, a product to back, or a partnership in mind — let's talk.
