Sourcing and Review

The raw data provided by public bodies is often flawed.

Our Sourcing and Review engine is designed specifically to overcome these critical industry failures:

• Fragmented Market Visibility: There is no single “source of truth” for UK procurement. Notices are scattered across hundreds of different sources, many with inconsistent publication standards. While algorithms often miss notices on obscure local sites, our Human-Led Sourcing team proactively hunts across every corner of the market to ensure no opportunity is missed.
• Identifying “Hidden” Opportunities: Below-Threshold tenders and Unregulated opportunities are notoriously difficult for automated systems to find. Our specialists source 1,700+ notices every week, capturing everything from national frameworks to the small, niche contracts that others overlook.
• The Failure of CPV Codes: There are nearly 10,000 CPV codes, yet they are frequently used incorrectly or are too broad to be useful. We use these only as a reference, replacing them with our own accurate, human-assigned categories and a library of over 2,000 unique keywords.
• Correcting Misleading Titles: We often find tenders with titles that are simply internal reference numbers or contain no actual service information. We manually rewrite these titles so you can identify relevant opportunities at a single glance.
• Context Over Algorithms: Algorithms lack nuance. An automated system might flag an “Ordnance Survey” notice for a DNA sequencing company just because the word “ordnance” contains the letters “DNA.” Our specialists read every notice to eliminate these “false positives,” saving your team hours of wasted administrative time.

The primary benefit is Exhaustive Market Visibility.

The UK and Irish procurement landscape is highly fragmented, with thousands of authorities publishing notices across hundreds of different sources. Automated scrapers often miss Below-Threshold and Unregulated opportunities that are published via obscure sources.

By using Human-Led Sourcing, we navigate this complexity for you. Our specialists proactively hunt for opportunities, identifying 1,700+ tenders every week. This ensures you have a complete view of the market, including those vital smaller contracts and local opportunities that automated systems simply cannot find.

The Peer-Review Process provides Relevance and Accuracy.

It is not enough to just find notices, our review process “cleans” the information to ensure it is fit for your business. Most tender notices contain flawed data – such as incorrect CPV codes, misleading titles, or vague descriptions.

Our process overcomes these barriers by having a specialist read every notice, rewrite unclear titles, and assign the notice with the most relevant of our 2,000+ unique keywords. Because we include a “Quality Assurance” stage where specialists verify each other’s work, we eliminate “false positives” (irrelevant alerts).

The ultimate benefit is that you save hours of administrative time and receive a guarantee that every lead in your inbox is relevant to your business.

No.

Our team of Sourcing Specialists accurately review 1,700+ UK and Irish notices each week. We leverage decades of combined experience to ensure that the process is efficient, allowing us to deliver verified, high-quality leads to your inbox without delay.

Common Procurement Vocabulary (CPV) codes have not been updated in years and are often misused.

Many notices are coded incorrectly or have no codes at all, meaning they will not appear in standard searches. We assign our own keywords to ensure you never miss new business opportunities due to a buyer’s clerical error.

Speed is only an advantage if it is paired with accuracy.

While algorithms are fast, they lack the cognitive nuance required to interpret context and intent. For example, we frequently see automated systems send “Ordnance Survey” opportunities to DNA sequencing companies simply because the notice contains the letters “d-n-a.” Automation sees the pattern; our specialists see the context.

Furthermore, algorithms often find ‘Matches” by picking up references to related or similar contracts mentioned within a notice. Without a human specialist to filter this keyword cross-contamination, your team is left with a pipeline of irrelevant leads – resulting in significant administrative noise and wasted bid-preparation time.

Our Peer-Review Process ensures that by the time a lead reaches you, its relevance has been verified by an expert.
