How it Works

  • Choose the geographical location(s) you are interested in
  • Select the business categories that best describe your
    product or service

3. Receiving Tender Alerts

We email you tender alerts the same day the tenders are published so you're always ahead of your competitors.

Here's an Example Alert of what you'll receive.

You can also add a second email address at any time to receive tenders.

2. Setting up Your Profile

Our Profiling Team will call you to set up the categories that deliver the most relevant tenders for your business.

You can see from the level of detail we go to in our Category System that your profile can be as broad or refined as you want.

And it’s flexible - if you want to get tenders from a new sector or simply just tweak your profile, our team are on hand to help you.

At this point, you can also choose whether or not to include 'Contract Award Notices' - these tell you who won a contract and its value.
