Home · How it works
Keyword alerts find notices. Tender intelligence finds opportunities.
Eight steps, three of which are yours. The rest happens before your Monday email arrives.
The process
From your no-bid rules to a decision you can make in a minute.
01
You
Tell me what you do
Your trades, services and specialisms. Fire doors, stopping, alarms, emergency lighting, passive fire, FRAs, electrical compliance, water hygiene, asbestos.
02
You
Tell me where you work
The regions you actually cover, not the ones you would travel to once for a big enough job. Travel time is a real cost and it belongs in the filter.
03
You
Set your no-bid rules
The buyer types you've had trouble with, the work you don't want, the contract sizes below your floor or above your capacity. This is the most useful thing you can give me.
04
BidSignals
I monitor the official sources
Contracts Finder, Find a Tender, Sell2Wales and Public Contracts Scotland. The same notices you could find yourself, in the same places.
05
BidSignals
I filter the noise
Not every notice containing the word fire is relevant, and plenty of relevant work never uses the word at the top. Notices get read, not keyword-matched.
06
BidSignals
I check the opportunity
Service fit against your trades. Geography against your patch. Buyer type, contract information, accreditation requirements, turnover thresholds and likely blockers.
07
BidSignals
I verify the deadline at source
On the buyer's own portal, not copied from an aggregator. If an expression-of-interest window closes before the tender deadline, that gets flagged, because that gap is where good opportunities disappear.
08
You
You receive the digest and decide
One focused weekly email. Usually four to ten opportunities, each with a bid, watch or pass view. You open the official documents for the ones worth it.
The difference
Why a keyword alert can't do this.
A keyword alert matches a string. It has no view on whether you could service the contract, qualify for it, or reach it in time. Those are the only questions that matter on a Monday morning.
What a keyword alert knows
- The notice contains your word
- It was published recently
- Roughly where the buyer is based
What gets checked before your digest
- Whether the actual scope is work you do
- Whether it's inside the patch you cover
- Buyer type and how they typically contract
- Contract size against your floor and ceiling
- Accreditations and turnover thresholds
- Lot structure and what's bundled with what
- The real deadline, verified at source
What BidSignals does not do
It doesn't replace Contracts Finder or Find a Tender, it doesn't write or submit your bid, and it doesn't guarantee you'll win anything. It shortens the distance between a notice being published and you knowing whether it deserves your attention.
Every card links back to the official notice on the portal it came from.
