You can also filter by CPV code, the standard category for what's being bought. Tender matching rates each tender Potential, Good or Excellent for your business. It's a guide to relevance, so still check eligibility and the buyer's requirements.

FAQ
Tenderbase is tender management software for suppliers, from SMEs to larger bid teams. You can search public sector tenders and government contracts across the UK and Ireland, set up alerts, shortlist and follow each tender, and research buyers. Bid support is optional.
Official portals such as Find a Tender, Contracts Finder and eTenders publish the notices. Tenderbase lets you search public sector tenders by buyer, region, value and CPV code. Then you can save the search and let the alerts do the checking.
Choose by where you bid. Monthly plans are £25 (Local), £33 (Regional Plus), £42 (UK Wide) and £55 (UK + Ireland), in pounds sterling and plus VAT. Yearly plans save 25%. Extra team members start at Regional Plus.
You get a 14-day free trial with no payment today. Cancel before your first billing date and you pay nothing. After that, paid plans renew each month or year automatically until you cancel. Cancelling stops future renewals, and you keep access until the end of the period you've paid for.
Find a Tender and Contracts Finder in the UK, and eTenders in Ireland, are useful places to start. Each can send you alerts. Tenderbase adds tender matching, shortlists, task tracking and buyer research in one place. It works alongside the official notices, not instead of them.
Yes. The UK Wide plan covers tenders across the UK, and the UK + Ireland plan adds Irish tenders. Always check the official notice on the buyer's portal before you bid.
Tenderbase helps you manage each tender up to submission. You submit as the buyer's notice instructs, usually through their own portal.
Every plan includes full tender details and PDF downloads. Requesting tender documents is an add-on from £10 a month for five requests, plus VAT. Bid services are quoted once our bid writers have seen your tender documents.
It has applied since 24 February 2025 to most public procurement by contracting authorities in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. It changed how notices are published, and suppliers now register on the central digital platform. Planned procurement notices now do the job of prior information notices, and conditions of participation replace selection questionnaires. Procurements started earlier stay under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, and Scotland has its own rules. Check each notice for the rules that apply.
Ireland follows the European Union (Award of Public Authority Contracts) Regulations 2016, not the Procurement Act. Contracting authorities, including the Office of Government Procurement, publish tenders on eTenders, the national platform. The tender document is usually called a request for tenders. Suppliers often complete a European Single Procurement Document (ESPD) in place of a selection questionnaire. The UK + Ireland plan adds Irish tenders to your search.
