Compare vetted R&D tax advisers through one confidential tender.
Whether you are making your first R&D tax relief claim, benchmarking your existing adviser or considering a change, Tenderfy helps you compare up to three relevant specialists on expertise, approach, support and fees — without multiple sales approaches.
A structured way to appoint the right R&D tax specialist.
Choosing an R&D tax specialist should not depend on whoever sends the most persistent email. Tenderfy gives you a controlled way to compare relevant specialists before you share your company details.
Create your confidential brief
Tell us about your company, sector, year-end and R&D activity. The brief is designed to capture enough information for specialists to assess fit without exposing your identity too early.
Compare up to three proposals
Relevant specialists review the anonymised brief and submit proposals covering their approach, experience, fees and next steps. You receive a shortlist, not a flood of sales calls.
Appoint with confidence
Choose, with complete confidence, the specialist that best fits your claim profile, position and budget. There is no obligation to proceed if the proposals are not right for you.
Tender opportunities from companies actively reviewing R&D tax support.
Tenderfy gives credible R&D tax specialists access to qualified opportunities without upfront advertising spend, cold outreach or low-quality lead lists.
Controlled tendering
Companies create one confidential R&D tax brief and receive a focused shortlist, not repeated sales approaches.
Vetted specialist access
Specialists are checked for background, AML supervision, professional standing and suitability for R&D tax work.
Transparent selection
Companies compare expertise, evidence approach, fees and delivery process before choosing who to appoint.
Not a directory. Not a lead list. A controlled selection process.
The R&D tax relief market is technical, high-stakes and uneven. Tenderfy is built to make specialist selection more transparent, more comparable and less dependent on cold outreach.
Vetting before access
Specialists are reviewed before seeing tender briefs, including background, AML supervision, professional standing and R&D tax suitability.
A maximum of three proposals
Companies receive a focused shortlist. Specialists compete on relevance, evidence approach and credibility, not speed or volume.
Confidential until you award
Your company name and contact details are shared only when you choose to connect with a selected specialist.
Transparent commercial terms
Companies see tender fees upfront. Specialists understand commission terms before bidding. No hidden subscriptions or paid rankings.
R&D tax relief remains valuable. Evidence standards now matter more than ever.
HMRC’s latest published statistics show fewer claims, sustained R&D expenditure and greater focus on compliance. For companies, that makes specialist selection a commercial and risk-management decision.
Total R&D tax relief support claimed across the SME and RDEC schemes for tax year 2023-24.
Estimated number of R&D tax credit claims in 2023-24, down 26% from the previous year.
Estimated qualifying R&D expenditure used to claim relief in 2023-24.
HMRC reports that more than 90% of claimants have an authorised agent acting on their behalf.
