Frequently Asked Questions

Re-tendering opportunities occur when a public sector contract reaches the end of its term and the buyer re-opens the bidding process to the market. Even if a service is currently being provided by another company, there are requirements for these contracts to be refreshed regularly.

This process ensures the market remains competitive, transparent, and fair, preventing a single supplier from holding a contract indefinitely.

  • A contract expires: The original term has ended with no further options to extend.
  • Market testing: The buyer wants to ensure they are still getting the best value for money or the most innovative solution available.
  • Performance reviews: The buyer is looking for improved service levels that the current supplier may not be meeting.

Choosing to go after re-tendering opportunities offers you the following benefits:

  • Reduced requirements: The public sector can often leverage the previous supplier’s investment, meaning a new supplier may only need to focus on maintaining or developing an existing service or product.
  • More time to prepare: Contracts that are likely or planned to be re-tendered will include durations and dates, which you can use to plan your tendering pipeline.
  • Provide a better service: You can benchmark against the previous supplier’s service, and find ways to provide a superior offer.
Feature Other Alert Services Tenders Direct
Categorisation Rely on CPV codes, which are often incorrectly assigned by buyers. Expert Review: We read every notice to verify its actual content.
Accuracy High “Noise”: You receive irrelevant alerts that waste your time. Complete accuracy: You only see tenders that actually match your business.
Market Coverage Often limited to regulated opportunities published on centralised portals. Total Visibility: Includes sub-threshold, local, and OJEU opportunities.
Search Effort You have to manually filter through hundreds of leads to verify relevance. Curated alerts: We filter notices for you; you just need to check your inbox.
Reliability If buyers use the wrong codes or keywords, opportunities get missed. Safety Net: Our team catches what automated systems miss.

Tender notice categorisation is inconsistent, leading to omitted notices and a lot of irrelevant noise when you search. Our Peer Review Process overcomes these issues, ensuring you only see the contracts that actually matter to your business.

Beyond CPV Codes: While the industry relies on outdated and often misapplied CPV codes, we don’t. We match notices to modern industry keywords, ensuring innovations and niche services aren’t buried by incorrect labelling.

Contextual Intelligence: Automated systems often get “distracted” by background text or regional filler. We analyse the actual scope of work to filter out the fluff, delivering alerts with 100% relevance.
