31,165 UK public contracts end in the next 18 months. Know who holds them.
When a contract comes back out to tender, the supplier who holds it has usually been talking to the buyer for months. Tender Radar shows you what is coming up in your market and who holds it now. Every weekday morning it also sends you the new notices that fit your organisation, scored, with the reason beside each.

What the portals leave you to work out
Find a Tender and the other portals publish every notice and stop there. Which notices matter to you, which contracts are about to come round again, and who holds them today is left for you to piece together. That is the part Tender Radar does.
A scored daily digest
Every new notice read and ranked against your profile before 9am. You open one email instead of four portals.
Renewal radar
Incumbent contracts expiring in the next 18 months, so you can build a relationship with the buyer long before the re-tender is published.
Displacement alerts
When a competitor's contract approaches its end date, you hear about it early enough to position against it.
Market intelligence
Your buyers, competitors and renewals on one page, a tracker the whole team shares, and an alert when tracked work comes back out to tender.
New: Intelligence
Your whole market on one page
How many contracts there are in your line of work, who buys them, who wins them and which are coming up for renewal, worked out from contract award data. Track the ones that matter with your team, and hear the morning a tracked contract comes back out to tender.
- A pipeline ordered by when you can act
- A shared tracker with owners, stages and notes
- Briefings on competitors and buyers, with the facts beside them
- Included in the £30 plan
Four portals, one inbox
UK public procurement is not published in one place. Notices are split across four national portals, each with its own thresholds, search behaviour and quirks. Tender Radar reads all four so you do not have to keep four tabs open and four sets of saved searches.

Look up any buyer or supplier
The same award history behind the digest is published as 1,103 buyer and 2,112 supplier profiles: who buys what, who currently holds the contract, and which contracts are due to expire in the next eighteen months.

Before you start the trial
Which tender databases does Tender Radar monitor?
Find a Tender (FTS), Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland (PCS) and Sell2Wales: the four main UK public sector procurement portals. Between them they cover central government, local government, the NHS, education and housing associations.
How does the matching work?
You build a profile with your business description, keywords, CPV codes, target buyers and minimum contract value. Each morning every new notice is scored against that profile and ranked, so strong matches sit at the top and weak ones are filtered out before they reach you.
How quickly will I receive alerts?
Your digest arrives before 9am each weekday. After setting up your profile you can also trigger an immediate first run from your dashboard, so you can see relevant contracts straight away rather than waiting for the next morning.
Can multiple people receive the digest?
Yes. You can add as many recipients as you like, and set separate daily and weekly lists. Larger organisations can run a separate radar per department at £30 per department per month, each with its own profile and recipients.
Is there more than the daily digest?
Yes. Intelligence shows your market on one page: how many contracts there are in your line of work, who buys and wins them, and which are coming up for renewal. Your team can track contracts, buyers and competitors together, get an email when tracked work comes back out to tender, and open short briefings on competitors and buyers. All of it is included in the same price.
What does it cost and is there a contract?
£30 per month or £300 per year, which saves two months. The first 30 days are free and no card is required to start. There is no minimum term, so you can cancel at any time.
