By the time a tender is published, the specification is finished and the incumbent helped shape it. But every awarded contract has a published end date. We work backwards from it — so you're talking to the buyer nine months before the tender exists.
No login, no card, nothing to install. The tool below runs on published government data — thousands of live contracts, every one linked to its source notice.
Pick what you do and where you work. This is real data from the UK Find a Tender service — click any row through to the original notice and check it.

"Engage by" is the whole point. It's the contract end date minus nine months — roughly when a buyer starts shaping the next specification. A contract marked ENGAGE NOW is 9 to 18 months from ending: far enough out that nothing is written yet, close enough that the buyer will take the call. Rows marked LATE end within nine months — the specification is likely already drafted, which is exactly the position an alert service leaves you in.
Or browse every sector and region: contracts by sector and region — a page for each, listing what is expiring, who holds it and when to approach the buyer.
Every contract in your sector and region with a published end date, the incumbent holding it, its value, and the date you should be in front of that buyer by. Refreshed monthly.
The suppliers winning contracts you could deliver — how many, from which buyers, for how much, and when each of their contracts next comes up.
Planned procurement and preliminary market engagement notices: buyers publicly asking the market to help shape a requirement, months before any tender. Most firms have never heard of them.
The two things customers complain about most with the incumbents, and both are free for us to not do.

Half now, half on delivery.
Prices exclude VAT. Bid Build is half on order and half on delivery — and if it isn't complete and compliant in your hands 48 hours before the deadline, the second half is waived and you keep the work.
The opposite. Alerts tell you what's open now — by which point the specification is written and the incumbent influenced it. We work backwards from published contract end dates to show which buyers go to market in the next 6–48 months, so you can build the relationship while the requirement is still being formed. Different data, different timing, different job.
The UK government's Find a Tender service, published under the Open Government Licence v3.0, which expressly permits commercial reuse with attribution. Every row above links to the original notice. We hold nothing confidential about any buyer or supplier.
Frequently, and we say so on every report. Published end dates don't capture extensions, break clauses or framework call-offs. What you get is a ranked, dated shortlist of buyers worth a conversation instead of a list of thousands you'll never call. And a supplier who rings a buyer and learns an extension was taken has still had a conversation with someone who now knows their name.
You can, and some firms should. The data is free; assembling several years of it, normalising inconsistent records, mapping classification codes to what you actually do, and keeping it current is a fortnight of technical work plus maintenance. If you have someone who'd enjoy that, we'll happily tell you which endpoint to start with.
Those are good products for organisations with a bid team and a five-figure budget, priced per seat, usually on annual contracts. This is built for the firm with no bid team, one decision maker, and no appetite for another login. If you have a bid director and a market intelligence budget, buy one of theirs.
Because the buyer didn't publish one. Roughly half of award notices omit the value. We show what was published and leave the rest blank rather than estimating — a made-up number is worse than an honest gap.
The tool above is the public slice. Your report is built to your exact classification codes, your regions and your contract sizes — and includes the competitor map, buyer targets and early signals that aren't in the free explorer.
