Tender monitoring: making the most of public-procurement sources
Well-configured monitoring saves you time and stops you missing relevant contracts. Keywords, codes, areas: here is the method.
Which sources should you watch?
National gazettes publish contracts above certain thresholds; the European portal covers EU-wide contracts. Buyer portals also publish lower-value consultations. Comprehensive monitoring combines these sources.
Set up relevant alerts
Combine business keywords, procurement codes and service areas to reduce noise. A relevance score lets you prioritise high-potential opportunities and ignore the rest.
Industrialise the screening
Rather than reading every notice, rely on automatic GO / NO-GO qualification based on your company profile to handle only the contracts where you have a real chance.
