Frequently Asked Questions

If you are hesitating, do not worry - we are here to explain everything you might want to know. Let us help!

The tendering process is the legally required method by which Public Sector bodies (such as central government, local councils, and the NHS) procure goods, services, and works from external private businesses. It is a structured, competitive, and regulated system ensuring the fair and transparent expenditure of public money.

Success hinges on the ability to clearly demonstrate that you meet and exceed the Buyer's needs and expectations. A winning tender directly addresses all evaluation criteria, provides compelling evidence (case studies), is competitively priced, and meets all submission requirements and deadlines.

Public sector tenders in the UK originate from a wide range of government-funded and publicly accountable organizations. Here are the main sources:
  • Central Government Departments: HMRC, Home Office, DEFRA, IT, consultancy, infrastructure, and more.
  • Local Authorities & Councils: Responsible for community services like waste management, social care, and construction projects.
  • NHS Trusts & Health Boards: Procuring medical equipment, staffing services, facilities management, and digital health solutions.
  • Education Institutions: Schools, colleges, and universities tender for catering, cleaning, security, software, and learning resources.
  • Armed Forces & MOD: Defense-related contracts for logistics, technology, and specialist services.
  • Charities, NGOs & INGOs: Often funded by public grants, they tender for outreach, training, and operational support.
  • Other Public Bodies: Including housing associations, transport authorities, and emergency services.

Yes, Tenderbase provides an API (Application Programming Interface) for external integration. This feature is designed primarily for bid development, consulting organisations, and other businesses that require automated access to the tender data. The API allows these organisations to seamlessly integrate Tenderbase's extensive database of UK contract opportunities directly into their own internal systems, such as their CRM platforms or custom bid-management software.

While Tenderbase's core focus and primary tender database are dedicated to the UK and Ireland public sector market, users from any country are welcome to register for the service.

The number of notifications you receive is fully customisable based on your preferences. You control the frequency by setting your desired categories, locations, and tender value range in your user settings. If you do not set a specific time or preference, Tenderbase defaults to sending you two email notifications daily containing relevant tender opportunities.
