Get public contract alerts
before you miss them
TenderHawk watches public contract sources including Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales, filters the noise, and emails plain-English opportunities for UK small businesses.
Free Scout available now. No card needed. We ask for a short business profile so the alerts can be matched properly.
The Problem
Right now, a public buyer may be looking for exactly what you do
Public buyers spend heavily on contracts every year, from local maintenance to software, cleaning, grounds and compliance work. Too much of that opportunity quietly goes to the same familiar names. Not always because they are better. Often because small businesses never hear about the opportunity in time.
Tenders are scattered across public portals, written in procurement language, and often close within weeks. By the time a small business stumbles on one, the deadline may already be too close. TenderHawk is being built to change that.
How It Works
Three steps. No learning curve.
We Monitor
We scan supported public contract sources every day, then add buyer-route detail only when the source supports it.
We Filter
We check sector, value, deadline, buyer and practical fit so you do not waste time on notices that were never realistic.
You Decide
Get a plain-English alert in your inbox with the buyer, value, deadline, source and why it might be worth reading.
Sample Alert Preview
This is the kind of signal we send
Source-backed sample of how TenderHawk formats public notices. This is an illustrative example, not a live personalised match for your specific business.
Morning - TenderHawk found a live council opportunity worth checking.
Playpark Equipment Annual Inspections
The notice asks for annual inspections of playpark equipment across the council area. At £100k, it is focused, repeatable public-sector work with a clear buyer, value and deadline — the kind of contract a small specialist firm can assess quickly.
