Search EU Public Tenders and Procurement Contracts

TenderAlerts is a procurement intelligence platform that aggregates public tender notices from across the European Union. We help suppliers discover relevant opportunities, track their status, and receive timely notifications-all from a single dashboard. Whether you're bidding on one contract or managing hundreds, TenderAlerts saves you time and helps you never miss an opportunity.

We currently monitor the following procurement systems:

• TED Europe - EU-wide public procurement notices
• Finland - Hilma
• France - BOAMP
• Poland - e-Zamowienia
• UK - Contracts Finder
• Germany - Bekanntmachungsservice

Support for additional data sources across more EU member states is coming soon. Check our Supported Systems page for the latest updates and our expansion roadmap.

TenderAlerts is designed for small and medium-sized organizations (SMEs) looking to discover and track public procurement opportunities across the EU. Our platform makes it easy for growing suppliers to compete for contracts in multiple countries without the complexity of managing dozens of procurement portals. That said, larger enterprises also benefit from TenderAlerts' consolidated view, market analytics, and team collaboration features. Whether you're a SME wanting to expand into new EU markets or an enterprise streamlining your tender discovery process, TenderAlerts helps you identify contracts matching your capabilities.

Most users are up and running in under 5 minutes. Simply sign up, create your first saved search with your criteria, and we'll email you matching opportunities as they appear. There's no complex configuration required.

Our search engine lets you combine multiple filters to find tenders matching your exact criteria. You can filter by:

Core Filters:

• Keyword - search tender titles and descriptions
• Business Sector (CPV) - filter by product/service classification codes
• Place of Performance (NUTS) - target specific regions and countries
• Notice Type - new tenders, amendments, contract awards, or others
• Procurement Type - goods, services, or works
• Procedure Type - open, restricted, negotiated, or framework agreements
• Value - set minimum and maximum contract values
• Date - filter by publication or deadline date ranges
• Buyer - search for specific procuring authorities
• Supplier - find tenders from particular suppliers or competitors
• Lots - filter by number of contract lots

Advanced Filtering: And many more specialized filters depending on your needs. You can combine any filters to narrow results precisely. For example: "IT services" (CPV) + "EUR50k-EUR200k value" + "Germany" (NUTS) + "Open procedure" + "30+ days to deadline" shows only high-priority opportunities matching all criteria.

Most users create 2-3 saved searches covering their main service lines and geographic targets, then refine based on what they discover.

Yes. Save any search query and we'll remember your exact filters. You can maintain multiple saved searches for different product/service lines or market segments.

You can also modify any saved search anytime-adjust filters, add or remove criteria. Note that you'll need to save the modified search for your alerts to reflect the updated criteria. Or create a new search by duplicating an existing one and tweaking the criteria, which is faster than building from scratch.

A saved search is a stored filter you can re-run anytime. An alert uses your saved search criteria to automatically email you new matching tenders. You control the frequency-daily digest, immediate notifications, or weekly summary-for each alert.

Very specific. Filter by procurement value range, contract duration, buyer organization type, CPV codes (product classifications), language, publication date, and more. You can also use keyword searches within notice titles and descriptions to find specialized opportunities.

Absolutely. You can set minimum and maximum contract values to find opportunities in your price range. This helps identify contracts worth bidding on versus those too small or large for your operation.

We check for new tenders matching your saved searches every hour and send alerts immediately when matches are found. This means you'll be notified promptly of new opportunities without unnecessary delays.

You can enable or disable email alerts anytime from your Alerts page. Simply toggle any alert on or off-you don't need to delete your saved search, just pause the notifications.

Yes. TenderAlerts supports multilingual alerts. Receive notifications in your preferred language, and the platform interface is available in English, Polish, Spanish, Portuguese, and more.

Yes. By default, we display the most commonly-used fields in notice preview cards (both in search results and email alerts). However, you can easily customize which fields appear for each data source.

To adjust notice preview fields: go to Alert Settings > Notice Preview Fields and enable or disable the fields you want to see. These customizations apply to both your email alerts and the search interface.

When you create a new alert, it automatically inherits the notice preview fields currently active for that data source. You can always modify these field settings later in Alert Settings without affecting your saved search criteria.

A few possibilities: the tender may have been published before your alert was created, or it might not match all your filter criteria. You can manually search for past tenders and adjust your alert criteria if needed. If you believe this is an error, contact our support team.

Yes. Search for a specific buyer organization and save that search as an alert. You'll be notified whenever they publish new tenders. This is useful for tracking opportunities from key clients or strategic partners.

A favorite is a single tender notice you've marked for later reference. A favorites list is a collection of multiple tenders organized by theme (e.g., "Q1 2025 Targets," "High-Value IT Contracts"). Lists help you organize opportunities for team review, bid prioritization, or client proposals.

Yes. Create a favorites list and share it with team members via a unique link or direct invitation. Shared lists let your sales, bid management, or operations teams collaborate on opportunity evaluation. Currently, shared lists are view-only. In the future, we plan to support an option for others to edit shared lists.

Shared lists include all tender details. Each person viewing a shared list can customize which fields they want to see using the notice preview field settings. This way, everyone on your team can view the same list but see the information most relevant to their role.

Yes. Export favorite tenders or entire lists as CSV. This is useful for sharing with stakeholders, including in proposals, or importing into your internal bid management system.

View procurement trends across the EU: total contract volumes, spending by sector, buyer types, average contract values, geographic distribution, and timeline patterns. Understand which markets are growing, seasonal variations, and competitive intensity in your industry.

Identify high-opportunity sectors and regions, benchmark your bidding activity against market trends, spot emerging buyer organizations, and time your business development efforts based on procurement cycles. For example, if construction services spike in spring, you can prepare bids accordingly.

Market statistics are updated daily as new tenders are published. Historical data goes back 12+ months, allowing you to spot trends over time.

Yes. Segment statistics by the following filters: sector (CPV), place (NUTS), buyer, country, winner country, procedure type, and date range. Create custom views matching your business focus.

Most procurement data sources publish tenders once daily before 9 AM. Our system scans these data sources every hour to capture new notices, so you'll typically receive alerts within an hour of publication.

Yes. Manage all notification preferences, email addresses, and alert settings from your account dashboard. Changes take effect immediately.

Your account is downgraded to the Free plan, which has limitations. You can reactivate your subscription anytime and regain full access to your account and saved data.

We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) and bank transfers. Enterprise customers can arrange custom billing.

A public tender (or public procurement opportunity) is a formal process where a government agency, public institution, or publicly-funded organization invites suppliers to bid on contracts for goods, services, or works. The EU requires member states to publish these opportunities publicly.

TED is the official EU journal for public procurement notices. It publishes tenders above certain value thresholds from across EU member states. TenderAlerts monitors TED along with national procurement systems for comprehensive coverage.

CPV (Common Procurement Vocabulary) codes classify products, services, and works using a standardized system. For example, 72000000 = IT services. TenderAlerts lets you filter by CPV codes to find relevant categories.

NUTS (Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics) codes are a standardized system for identifying regions within the EU. They help classify geographic areas at different levels-from entire countries to specific regions. TenderAlerts lets you filter tenders by NUTS codes to target specific geographic locations where you want to bid.

TenderAlerts provides a summary of each tender along with a link to the original notice on the procuring authority's system. Most notices include a direct submission link or a link to access all detailed information including submission requirements and instructions. You work directly with the procuring authority to submit your bid.

No. TenderAlerts is a discovery and tracking tool. There are no commissions, success fees, or charges beyond your subscription. You negotiate contracts directly with buyers.

This varies by country. Some systems require pre-registration, others allow open bidding. Each tender notice specifies registration requirements and instructions. We recommend registering in countries where you plan to bid frequently.

Results depend on your exact filter criteria, publication date, and system updates. Slight variations can occur if: filters have changed, new data sources were added, or procurement systems updated their classifications. Adjust filters to see how results change.

TenderAlerts provides a summary of each tender. For full tender notice details, you can read the original notice on the procuring authority's system using the link provided in each tender summary.

Begin by setting 2-3 saved searches for your main service/product lines and geographic targets. Set up daily digest alerts. Spend a week browsing market statistics to understand your competitive landscape. Then refine your search criteria based on what you see.

Bid on contracts matching three criteria: (1) the buyer can pay you promptly (government/public institutions typically do), (2) your team can deliver the service/product, and (3) the contract value justifies your bid effort. Don't chase every opportunity-focus on winnable, profitable deals.

Depends on your workflow. Sales teams might share with management for bid approval. Bid managers might share with operations teams for feasibility review. Operations might share with finance for capacity planning. Use TenderAlerts' flexible sharing to match your process.

Monitor competitor activity by watching what contracts they win (published in tender amendments/awards). Track emerging sectors with market statistics. Note seasonal trends to time your marketing. Follow specific buyers to understand their procurement patterns.

TenderAlerts was founded by procurement professionals who understand the EU bidding landscape. Our team includes e-procurement specialists, data engineers, and market analysts focused on helping suppliers succeed.

TenderAlerts is an independent platform that aggregates publicly-available procurement data from official sources (TED, national systems). We're not a government platform, but we're committed to data accuracy.

While our core product serves suppliers, some procuring authorities use our platform to monitor competitive procurement trends. We're exploring additional products for the buyer side.

TenderAlerts is a subscription-based service. We're funded by user subscriptions-no ads, no data sales. Your success is our success.
