Three steps to your Monday plan

Step 1
Tell us your work

Research or consulting, the regions you cover and the contract sizes you bid for. It takes about two minutes.
Step 2
We check the official notices through the day

We keep the tenders that fit your firm and say why each one matched.
Step 3
Monday at 7:00, your bid plan

Up to five picks: the best fit first, then by deadline. When a fresh tender fits midweek, a same-day email (at most two a day).

Then your firm decides

Everything after the email happens in one place the whole firm shares.

Bid or Skip Each pick, for the whole firm, so everyone sees what the firm has decided.
Your bids Deadlines, what the buyer changed since, and the result from the award notice.
Add to calendar or send to a colleague From any tender.
Slack or Microsoft Teams The same plan in your team’s channel, if you like.

Where the data comes from

Tenders and award notices come only from Find a Tender (UK), Contracts Finder (England) and Public Contracts Scotland, read through their official APIs. Tenders never come from scraping websites. A national agreement's name, end date and type come from its own page on the Government Commercial Agency's site. What we cover, and what we don't yet, is on Data sources & your rights.

Who runs Tenderhooks

Tenderhooks is an independent business, not affiliated with Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland, the Government Commercial Agency or any buyer. Payments go through Paddle.com, our reseller. The business and its address are on the legal notice.
