Tenders Alert Service

The Tenders Alert Service (TAS) can help a company find new business by accessing its database of invitations to tender; each week contracts worth in excess of £10 billion pounds are on offer.It can help a company find out about world-wide business and sub-contracting information.

How does TAS help?

Every sizeable contract that is put out to tender is published in print on a daily basis. TAS database searches can be customised to meet the needs of an individual business and then checked against all the new tenders as they are published.

How does it work?

An initial session is used to establish the search criteria specific to your business interest. The database can be searched using fields such as contract type or location, bid procedure and awarding authority. TAS will then screen their database and find contracts put out to tender that match the company's criteria.

In addition to details of search matches, they are able to provide records of individual contracts for tender.

Their Tenders Consultants can also help a company to write bids and provide support throughout the application procedure.

If a company is looking for sub-contracting work, lists of tenders which have already been awarded are also available.

How much does it cost?

There is an initial fee to cover the setting up of the search specification and two exploratory searches. The service is then available on a 3 month or yearly subscription basis.
