Boost your tendering confidence with Tenders Direct

Tailored Views for Diverse Business Needs

Stop manually filtering and sorting your opportunity notices. Your business is multifaceted, and your tender feed can be too. Saved Searches & Focused Alerts allow you to slice our database into bespoke segments, ensuring the right opportunities reach the right people at the right time.

Whether you are balancing multiple service lines or managing different regional teams, these tools allow you to focus your interests and ensure your specialists can act on leads the moment they appear.

šŸ” Saved Searches: Intelligence on Demand

Our database gives you total market visibility, and Saved Searches give you total control of this information. By saving your custom criteria, you can instantly view specific segments of the market without re-applying filters.

  • Service-Specific Views: Create unique profiles for different departments—such as Maintenance and Installation—so teams only see the data relevant to them.
  • Regional Strategic Planning: Group notices by your areas of operation to manage workload and resource allocation more effectively.
  • Avoid Duplication: Split notice views between colleagues to ensure your team covers more ground without overlapping efforts.

šŸ”” Focused Alerts: Precision Intelligence

Turn your Saved Searches into standalone, high-priority email alerts. This ensures your specialists are notified the moment an opportunity matching their exact niche is published.

  • Bespoke Specialist Feeds: Create unique alert profiles for individual managers, ensuring they only receive the tenders they are responsible for winning.
  • Key Account Monitoring: Receive an immediate notification when a targeted contracting authority – like a specific local council or health board – releases a new notice.
  • Strategic Alerts: Set up dedicated notifications for high-priority opportunities, ensuring they receive your immediate attention.

šŸ“ˆ Choosing the Right Capacity

To ensure every business gets the right level of support, the number of Saved Searches available is tailored to your subscription type. Whether you need 5 profiles for a regional team or 100 segments for a national enterprise, we have a subscription that fits.

  • Basic Subscription: 1 Saved Search

  • Core Subscription: 5 Saved Searches

  • Premium Subscription: 100 Saved Searches

Frequently Asked Questions

Even with a feed of expertly reviewed tenders, a growing business often needs to view the market through different lenses. You need these tools to decentralise your intelligence.
By segmenting the data, you ensure that high-priority opportunities are not lost in the daily flow, and that the right specialists are alerted to the specific contracts they are responsible for winning.

The primary benefit is Operational Focus. By using Saved Searches and Focused Alerts, you can:

  • Eliminate Manual Work: Stop re-entering complex search filters every time you log in.
  • Empower Your Team: Send niche opportunities (like regional or service-specific bids) directly to the relevant managers.
  • Protect Your Pipeline: Create “Safety Net” alerts for critical buyers or Frameworks that you absolutely cannot afford to miss.

A Tenders Direct subscription gives you full access to the UK’s most accurate notice database. Saved Searches allow you to “bookmark” specific search filter combinations to create a persistent search/alert profile.

You can build your searches using any combination of:

  • Notice Type: Focus on live Contracts, Prior Information (Early Warnings), or Award Notices (Competitor Tracking).
  • Procurement tool: Filter specifically for Frameworks or Dynamic Purchasing Systems (DPS).
  • Value Thresholds: Separate Public Contracts from Below-Threshold Opportunities.
  • Geography: Target specific UK regions, Ireland, or even wider Europe.
  • Deep Categorisation: Include any product or service category, even those outside your primary profile.
  • Keyword Precision: Include or exclude specific keywords like Buyer Names, Product Types, or Towns to refine your results to perfection.

Tenders Direct offers the UK’s most accurate tender database, which is fully accessible to all subscribers.

When using specific keywords or filters to search this database, you can choose to save your search configuration – creating a Saved Search.

This Saved Search can be applied with the click of a button, allowing you to effortlessly review corresponding notices.

An Focused Alerts profile will also be created for notices matching this Saved Search. You can choose which of your users receive the corresponding alerts.

Whenever you create a Saved Search, you also create a Focused Alerts profile.

These alert profiles ensure you, or other users on your subscription, are notified when notices matching your Saved Search criteria are published. You can choose to turn off this feature, and only have Saved Searches, without any associated alerts.

These Alerts are in addition to your primary Tender Alert profile.
