Daily Email Alerts
We send you email alerts the day the
tenders are published, so you're always ahead of your competitors. You can
also add a second email address at any time to receive tenders. Here is an example
of the type of Tender Alert you can expect to receive.
Personalised Tender Alert Profile
We have developed a simple
category system which we map to the tenders as they come into our system.
This is a manual process which is performed by Tenders Direct's dedicated Tender Profiling Team,
who manually review every tender. This allows us to send you relevant tenders which
accurately match the categories in your tender alert profile. You can also choose
to receive tenders by specific regions and European countries.

Successful Tendering Training Courses are designed to put you and your business
in a better position to win bids. We help you to formulate winning strategies, as
well as develop your PQQ and Bid Writing skills. As members, you can take advantage

OJEU Tenders
A tender is classified as an
OJEU tender if its value is above a certain EC Procurement Threshold.
Tenders Direct has been an approved European Commission Licensee since 1993, meaning
we are licensed by the European Commission to distribute all the OJEU tenders on
a daily basis.
Lower Value Tenders
Lower Value Tenders are not published in the OJEU and are sometimes known as ‘below
threshold tenders’, meaning its value is below a certain EC Procurement Threshold.
Tenders Direct have a dedicated
Tender Sourcing Team who are solely responsible for finding lower value
tenders, making us the most comprehensive single source of tenders in the UK.
UK & European Tenders
We realise that you most likely want to receive tenders from the UK and Ireland
- you can even refine your profile to focus on the specific regions you are interested
in. However, we can also send you tenders from any other European country - simply
select the countries of interest when you subscribe or adjust your profile at any
time.
Private Sector Tenders
Utilities such as Power Generation, Water Boards, Railways and Airports, together
with other private sector organisations publish both OJEU and Lower Value tenders
which are available on Tenders Direct.
Contract Award Notices
As part of your profile you can choose to receive Contract Award Notices which give
you details on the suppliers who are winning contracts. You can use this information
as a market monitoring tool and also to identify possible sub-contracting opportunities.
Tenders Direct also provide other tender notice types such as Prior Information
