What Tussell is
Tussell is a London company, founded in 2015, that sells market intelligence on UK public procurement. It gathers tenders, contract awards, framework agreements and public sector spending data into one subscription platform used for sales strategy, account planning and competitor analysis.
Beyond live tenders it offers early buying signals taken from government documents, framework call-off data, invoice and spend data, contact details for public sector decision makers, an analyst service, and integrations including Salesforce and an API. Its research is widely cited in the national press.
Pricing
Tussell does not publish prices. Access is by annual subscription in three tiers, Starter, Plus and Pro, which differ in account management support, freedom of information requests made on your behalf and bundled add-ons. A price is quoted after a conversation with its sales team.
Tussell or a tender alert service?
They answer different questions. Tussell is built for established suppliers who want to understand a market: who spends what, with whom, and through which frameworks. A tender alert service is built for finding the specific opportunities worth bidding for this week.
Tender Radar sits at the alerting end: a scored digest of new UK notices every weekday morning, plus buyer, competitor and renewal intelligence drawn from the same award data, for £30 a month. Many organisations need only the second. Larger suppliers building a sales pipeline across the whole public sector may need the first.

Subscription; some research published free.
