Ways in for a supplier, not the route labels above.

Bid alone

The cyber work is its own contract.

Bid with a partner

The cyber work is part of a bigger contract, or the winner does not sell cyber.

Talk to the buyer first

The contract ends soon, so the buyer may buy again. Subscribers see these.

We read 302,948 notices since 2022 and kept the 3,078 that are cyber work. See every notice we left out.

Three questions you may have

This is all public. Why pay?

Yes, every notice is public. But the public websites list every kind of contract, and cyber is a small part of them. We read every notice and keep only the contracts a firm selling cyber can use: services, software, insurance or consultancy. Some you could win alone. Some you could win with a partner. For some, you could show the buyer a better way to buy. Every award here is free to read.

We already get tender alerts.

So do your competitors, and a tender gives you about 30 days. The buyer has already written the specification by then. An end date is published when a contract is signed, often years earlier. It tells you who holds the contract and when the buyer must decide again. That gives you time to talk to the buyer, to find a partner, or to suggest a better approach. An end date does not promise a new tender.

We bid twice a year.

Then the free plan may be enough, because every award is free to read. If you want to see what is coming before your next bid, subscribe. Plans are monthly or yearly, and you can cancel at any time.

Read every award before you decide anything.

Free to read, no account needed: every award we hold, with who won and the value. A subscription shows what is still to come.
