Find a verified R&D tax specialist without the cold outreach.
Tenderfy helps UK companies procure R&D tax relief support through one controlled tender process. Post a confidential brief, receive up to 3 proposals from verified specialists, and appoint the adviser who has the best fit.
A structured way to appoint the right R&D tax adviser.
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 advisers before you share your company details.
Create your confidential brief
Tell us about your company, sector, accounting period 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 verified 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 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 ready to appoint.
Tenderfy gives credible R&D tax advisers access to qualified opportunities without upfront advertising spend, cold outreach or low-quality lead lists.
Apply and complete verification
Register your firm and complete our checks covering identity, AML supervision, professional standing and relevant R&D tax experience.
Access matched tenders
View anonymised briefs that match your sector expertise, preferred claim profile and delivery capability. Submit a proposal where you can add genuine value.
Win on merit, pay on success
There are no monthly retainers or pay-per-lead fees. Commission is due only when you win a tender and complete the claim engagement.
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 adviser selection more transparent, more comparable and less dependent on cold outreach.
Verification before access
Specialists are reviewed before they can access tender briefs. The process checks background, AML supervision, professional standing and suitability for R&D tax work.
A maximum of three proposals
Companies receive a manageable shortlist. Specialists compete on relevance, evidence approach and credibility, not speed or volume.
Confidential until you award
Your anonymised brief can be reviewed by matched specialists, but your company name and contact details are only shared once you choose to connect with the specialist.
Transparent commercial terms
Companies know the tender fee before posting. Specialists know the commission basis before bidding. No hidden subscriptions, retainers or paid-placement 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 adviser selection a commercial and risk-management decision.
Total R&D tax relief support claimed across the SME and RDEC schemes for tax year 2023 to 2024.
Estimated number of R&D tax credit claims in 2023 to 2024, down 26% from the previous year.
Estimated qualifying R&D expenditure used to claim relief in 2023 to 2024.
HMRC reports that more than 90% of claimants have an authorised agent acting on their behalf, while the claimant remains responsible for their own tax affairs.
What a strong R&D tax tender should help you compare.
Four criteria that separate a credible specialist from a costly one. Tenderfy structures every brief and every proposal around them.
- Relevant sector experience.
- Has the specialist handled claims in your industry or technology area?
- Credibility.
- Does the specialist have sufficient experience, qualifications and background to handle R&D claims?
- Fee structure.
- What is fixed, what is contingent and what is charged if HMRC opens a compliance check?
- Enquiry support.
- If the claim is challenged by HMRC, will enquiries be handled by the specialist at no additional cost to the claimant?
