Stop scrolling through tender notices to find the few that are actually yours.
BidSignals sends UK fire safety and compliance contractors one email a week. Only the tenders that fit your accreditations, region and size make it in, and every deadline is checked on the buyer's source before it reaches you.
No card for the first digest. Tell me your trades and patch, then judge the real thing before paying.
You already have free alerts. BidSignals filters out the noise.
Free portals send you everything with the word "fire" in it. BidSignals reads the notice first and flags what is worth opening, what to check, and what to skip.
1. Tell me your trade and patch
Fire doors, stopping, alarms, emergency lighting, passive fire, FRAs, regions covered, and any no-bid rules.
2. I read the weekly notices
Relevant ones get opened, not keyword-matched. Deadlines are verified on the source portal, not copied from an aggregator.
3. You get one Monday email
Usually 4 to 10 opportunities. If a week is thin, I tell you. I would rather send three real ones than pad it out.
The digest shows the decision, not just the notice.
Each tender card is built for a first-pass bid/no-bid screen: fit, deadline, buyer, check-first notes, and the source notice.
First digest free. Founding rate if it is useful.
Start with a real digest filtered around your trade and region. If it is useful, founding customers can stay at £79/month, locked for 12 months while subscribed.

I'm Matthew, based near Manchester. I built BidSignals because compliance contractors kept telling me the same thing: the alerts they pay for are noisy, and the good work gets found too late.
So I read the notices myself and send the ones worth your time. BidSignals already has its first paying customer and is intentionally narrow: UK fire safety and compliance opportunities, filtered before you spend bid time.
You get me on email, not a ticket queue. Questions: matthew@bidsignals.co.uk

Official portals show everything. BidSignals shows what may be worth your first read.
Use official portals for source documents and submissions. Use BidSignals for faster screening.
What do I get?
Search results, public notices, and buyer documents.
A shortlist filtered by service, region, buyer type, value, deadline, and likely fit.
Do I still need to read the tender?
Yes. You review the notice and documents yourself.
Yes, after seeing the summary, fit notes, deadline, and issues to check first.
Does it help me decide?
You build the bid/no-bid view manually.
BidSignals suggests a next step and explains why the tender may or may not fit.
Where the hours come back.
Doing it manually
- Check portals and buyer sites.
- Open notices that later fail on fit.
- Build your own bid/no-bid view.
- Track deadlines yourself.
Using BidSignals
- Receive one focused weekly digest.
- See fit notes, value, deadline, and red flags.
- Open official docs only when the tender looks worth it.
- Decide faster: bid, pass, or watch.
Built for compliance work, not every tender category.
The early product is narrow on purpose. Better relevance matters more than volume.

Best fit
SMEs with limited bid capacity and enough evidence to respond when the right tender appears.
Questions a sensible contractor would ask first.
Why not just use Contracts Finder or Find a Tender?
You should still use official sources when reviewing and responding to tenders. BidSignals is different because it filters, ranks, summarises, and explains notices so you can decide faster which ones deserve a full read.
Where do the tenders come from?
BidSignals monitors Contracts Finder, Find a Tender, Sell2Wales and Public Contracts Scotland.
How often are alerts sent?
The digest is weekly. Founding members also get an urgent alert when a high-fit tender appears with a short deadline.
Can I choose my trade and region?
Yes. After subscribing, you can tell us your trade, preferred regions, contract size, and no-bid rules. The point is not to send every tender — it is to filter for the work that could actually fit.
Do you guarantee contract wins?
No. BidSignals does not guarantee wins and does not submit bids for you. It helps you find better-fit opportunities faster and make better first-pass decisions.
Who is this for?
UK SMEs in fire safety, fire doors, emergency lighting, electrical compliance, water hygiene, asbestos, building safety, and related property compliance services.
Can I cancel?
Yes, any time. There's no contract and no notice period. The 12-month lock refers to your price, not your commitment: the £79 founding rate stays fixed for a year while you're subscribed.
What happens after I subscribe?
You’ll receive a short onboarding email asking for your trades, regions, contract-size preference, and no-bid rules. Your digest is then filtered around the work you actually want to see.
Will this actually save me time?
That is the test. The digest should reduce first-pass screening by putting fit, deadline, blockers, and next step in one place. If it does not, the product is not ready for you.
