How Tenders Direct works?

Tenders Direct is your complete tendering solution, offering a range of services to help you both access the market and secure new business opportunities.

Humans not Algorithms

Account Managers, Classification Specialists, Software Developers, Bid Writing Experts, and more work together to ensure you have the resources and support needed to win tenders. Thanks to the combined experience of our teams, we are able to offer you accurate and efficient tendering support solutions.

Rather than manually searching the hundreds of different portals for tenders, you can rely on email alerts from Tenders Direct. We will work with you to understand your business and create a bespoke alert profile tailored specifically to your needs. No more irrelevant notices means more time spent on writing contract winning bids.

Personalised tender notices

Tender sourcing and categorisation

We are the most accurate service because of our unique Review Process. Our specialists scour every source to give you access to ALL low value notices in the UK and Republic of Ireland. We then categorise these notices using product, service, and industry keywords, allowing us to effortlessly match you the opportunities you are looking for.

They will help create your personalised business profile, using their industry knowledge to ensure you get alerted to the right opportunities, and ensure you never miss a tender. By working with you to understand your aims and objectives, your Account Manager will help you get the most from your subscription. They will also be your point of contact should you require support – any tendering questions you have, they can help.

Dedicated Account Manager

More than a tender alert service

We want to make bid management easier

The effort required to coordinate bids can be quite significant, with you having to maintain awareness deadlines and progress across your entire opportunity portfolio. To make your life easier, we developed our own bid management tool to help simplify your day-to-day bid administration. Opportunity Manager is available as standard with all Tenders Direct subscriptions.

We know when contracts are likely to be renewed

Because we read every notice, as well as taking details of the requirements, we also record contract end dates. Rather than you having to search and set reminders, we can alert you up to 18 months before a renewal notice has been published.

We know what contracts your competitors have won

Our database has details of every company that has been announced as the winner of a public sector contract. This means you can search for a competitor and see what types of contracts they have won, and learn about their capabilities, pricing strategy and more. On top of this, we can send you alerts whenever they win a new contract.

We can help you become a better bid writer

There is a lot to consider when interpreting contract requirements and trying to demonstrate why your business should win a tender. We understand that bid writing can be challenging and have developed a range of training courses to help you write bids with confidence.

We can offer support when you need it

Our team of bid writing experts can offer assistance whenever you need it. We can proof your bids before submission, take on bid writing responsibilities, or manage entire projects for you. Our support is bespoke, and we are always happy to discuss your needs and offer impartial advice.

We want you to have access to up-to-date guidance and information

Helping business discover and access the public sector tender is important to us. As businesses and individuals, we have faced a lot of unexpected challenges, and for many public sector contracts can be a lifeline. To help you learn more you can freely access information via our blog, webinars and LinkedIn page.
