From personalised tender alerts and re-tendering opportunities to competitor intelligence, bid writing training, and bid support services, we help organisations spend less time searching and more time bidding.
Find a Tender, along with many other portals and alert services, rely on CPV (Common Procurement Vocabulary) codes to match opportunities with suppliers. The problem is that CPV codes are often too broad, applied incorrectly, or missing altogether from notices – causing relevant opportunities to be omitted from search results and notifications.
At Tenders Direct, we don’t rely on CPV codes alone, instead every notice is reviewed by a procurement specialist to assign accurate industry category keywords. This ensures opportunities are matched on what the contract is actually for, and not just the CPV codes selected by the buyer.
Combined with our Human-Led Sourcing across hundreds of procurement websites, capturing the notices that never make it to Find a Tender, our processes give suppliers complete confidence that they will never miss a tendering opportunity.
We help businesses of every size navigate the challenges of accessing and securing work with the public sector.
Every Tender Alert Subscription includes access to tools and features designed to help you identify opportunities earlier, understand your market and bid with greater confidence.
