Frequently Asked Questions

The public sector is a great source of new business for both small and large companies, with opportunities available across every industry. Unlike the private sector, this work is advertised publicly for any business to bid for – which is great for building your pipelines.

Searching for tenders, however, is a very time-intensive activity, involving navigating multiple portals, modifying search criteria, and reviewing countless opportunities to determine their relevance. Using a Tender Alert Service is the efficient solution, saving you time while giving you access to more opportunities.

  • Eliminate your need to jump from portal to portal – rather than running searches on over 500 different sources, you can have notices sent directly to your inbox.
  • Receive timely notifications – no more finding perfect tenders for your business, only to discover that the deadline is fast approaching or has already passed.
  • Remove your need to read irrelevant notices – with alerts set-up to your business criteria, you no longer have the need to read through notices which may not match your business needs.
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.

The details within tender notices has a significant impact on your search results, and as the quality of this content can vary, tenders often get overlooked or missed altogether. Our review process ensures we match you to the right opportunities, meaning you never miss a tender.

We don’t rely on CPV codes
CPV codes are used to classify products and services in public procurement. However, buyers often use them incorrectly or not at all, which means suppliers may miss out on opportunities. CPV codes are also outdated and do not take into account new developments or innovations.
We review notices and match their requirements to up-to-date industry keywords, allowing you to find exactly what you are looking for.

We can understand context
Tender notices often contain information that is irrelevant to search queries, such as buyer backgrounds or regional information. This can confuse automated systems, which often use this information to populate search results – resulting in inaccurate tender alerts.
Because we review the content, we can identify what is relevant to you and send you accurate alerts.
