What TenderSignal does for you

Updated 2 Oct 2026

TenderSignal brings public sector contracts for the UK and Ireland into one place and shows you the ones that fit your business.

TenderSignal finds public sector contracts for you. Instead of checking dozens of buyer websites, you save a search for the work you want and get one feed of matching tenders, with an email digest so nothing closes before you see it.

What you can do with it

  • Browse every live tender. Search, filter and sort the full list.
  • Choose what is relevant to you. Save a search with keywords for the work you want and your matches appear on your dashboard. Your sectors and regions set your starting view when you browse.
  • Get a digest by email. On the Free plan you receive a weekly digest of new matches. Pro sends them daily.
  • Watch the tenders you want to bid for. Free lets you watch up to 3 tenders and sends reminders as the deadline approaches.
  • See what is coming back. Contracts in your sectors that are due back on the market, so you can get ready early.

Where the tenders come from

We check 600+ buyer portals, so you do not have to. Around one in four live tenders is not on any national portal (Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales, eTendersNI or eTenders). We mark these with a Hard to find badge so they are easy to spot.

Coverage is the UK and Ireland. You can add European tenders in your settings if they are useful to you. Tenders are updated several times a day.

Who it is for

TenderSignal is built for small and medium businesses that sell to the public sector. You pick from 17 sectors in plain English, such as Construction and Civil Engineering, IT and Software, Healthcare and Medical, Marketing and Communications, or Professional Services and Consulting. You never need to know procurement codes.
