NHS tender alerts
Search every live UK and Irish tender, free. Pro does the hard work for you and emails them every morning. Covers NHS and healthcare opportunities from trusts, foundation trusts and integrated care boards, across the portals the NHS actually uses.
NHS procurement is unusually scattered, even by UK public sector standards. There is no single NHS portal. Individual trusts run their own systems, with more than 35 using separate Atamis instances alone, while integrated care boards commission independently for their local populations and NHS Supply Chain runs national frameworks for consumables and equipment. A supplier watching only Find a Tender sees the large above-threshold contracts and almost none of the trust-level work underneath them.
That fragmentation is the whole reason alerts matter more here than in most sectors. TenderSignal monitors the trust portals, the national frameworks and the central registers together, so a notice published by a single foundation trust reaches you the same way a national framework does.
Healthcare services procurement also runs under its own rules. The Provider Selection Regime governs how the NHS commissions clinical healthcare services, and it works differently from the Procurement Act process that covers goods, equipment and non-clinical services. Notices for the two routes surface in different places and read differently, which catches out suppliers who assume one process covers everything they sell to the NHS.
Alerts cover both. Set your sectors and keywords once, and new NHS opportunities arrive by email, whether that is a trust buying £40,000 of training, an ICB commissioning a community service, or a national framework opening for medical consumables.

NHS tender alerts: common questions
Are NHS tender alerts free?
Yes, to start. Searching is free, and so is one saved search with its 3 newest matches in your account and a Tuesday email of how many new NHS tenders it found, with no card. Free lets you browse and discover: you can browse, search, filter and open every live tender. Pro does the work for you. For £39 a month + VAT, new NHS tenders matching your saved searches arrive by email every morning, ranked by fit, with unlimited saved searches, tender tracking and an AI fit score.
Which NHS portals do you monitor?
Atamis portals used by more than 35 NHS trusts, NHS Supply Chain and NHS Shared Business Services frameworks, plus Find a Tender and Contracts Finder for above and below threshold notices. Trust-level work published only on an individual trust's own portal is the material most suppliers miss, and it is included.
What is the Provider Selection Regime and does it affect my alerts?
The Provider Selection Regime is the set of rules governing how the NHS commissions clinical healthcare services, and it operates separately from the Procurement Act process that covers goods, equipment and non-clinical services. Both appear in your alerts. It matters because the two routes publish differently, so suppliers watching only one process miss opportunities in the other.
Can I filter NHS alerts to my speciality?
Yes. Filter by CPV category, region and keywords, so a medical device supplier and a healthcare cleaning contractor get genuinely different alerts rather than the same undifferentiated NHS feed.
