Questions
Where do the tenders come from?
From Find a Tender and Contracts Finder, the UK government's official sites where public bodies publish their contracts. We read both every hour.
Will I see every small job?
You'll see every job that's published. Public bodies only have to advertise contracts above roughly £12,000 to £30,000, depending on the buyer, so many very small jobs are never published anywhere. Most of what we send is between about £30,000 and a few million.
Who writes the summaries?
An AI model reads each official notice and writes a short plain-English summary, the key requirements and any warning signs. It can make mistakes, so always read the official notice, linked in every email, before you bid.
Can you help me win the tender?
We find and explain the opportunities; the bid is yours. Each tender links to the official notice and the buyer's documents.
How does the free trial work?
You get 14 days of daily emails without entering a card. If you'd like to carry on, it's £39 a month, and you can cancel any time.
