Questions about Velstrian?

Velstrian helps suppliers find the work, draft answers cited to the rules, the tender and their own bids, and evidence delivery after award. Its platform drafts every answer from your own submitted bids and checks the figures in code rather than generating them. It serves both sides of a procurement. Velstrian Bid answers tenders, RFPs, RFIs, PQQs and SQs from bids you have already written. Velstrian Buy builds and publishes requirements, then locates the evidence for each one across the responses received. It never scores, because the evaluation panel scores. Both work in the public sector and the private sector.

Yes. You can cancel your subscription at any time from Settings > Billing in the platform. Your access continues until the end of the current billing period. Your data is preserved, so if you resubscribe later, everything will still be there.

One credit is one AI generation, such as a drafted tender answer or a rewritten method statement. Your plan includes a monthly allowance of them. Reading a tender document and extracting its requirements is charged by size, at 3 credits per 10 pages, rounded up, so a 10-page invitation to tender costs 3 credits. A page means one PDF page, one PowerPoint slide, or a whole Word or plain text document. Everything Velstrian Bid calculates rather than generates, including social value arithmetic, scoring and exports, is free and unlimited on every paid plan, and a generation that fails is never charged.

Your monthly allowance is spent first, then any top-up credits you have bought. When both are gone, AI generation is refused for the rest of the calendar month rather than continuing and billing you for it. A credit top-up is a one-off purchase that never expires: £10 for 100 credits, £50 for 500, or £100 for 1,000. Pay-as-you-go overage is switched on for your organisation on request, and each further credit is then billed at £0.10 on your next invoice. Overage stays off unless you ask for it, so you are never billed beyond your plan without agreeing to it first. The monthly allowance resets at the start of each calendar month and does not roll over. Purchased top-up credits do.

By rows, not by sheets. 50 rows of a sheet count as one page, rounded up and added together across every sheet in the file. A pricing schedule of 5,000 rows on a single Excel sheet therefore counts as 100 pages, which is 30 credits, rather than as a single page. We count it this way because a 5,000-row schedule holds roughly 17 times the text of a 10-page PDF and the AI work scales with how much text there is to read. CSV files are counted exactly like Excel files, and we only count the rows we actually read.

Subscriptions are billed monthly or annually (10% discount). Your billing period starts from the date you subscribe and renews on the same date until you cancel. If a subscription lapses, your data is preserved but you won't be able to create new records or contracts.
