TenderHawk angle
Fewer bad matches, clearer decisions.
TenderHawk does not replace official sources. It helps small businesses understand which official notices are worth reading and which are likely to waste time.
Pricing stance
Start with Free Scout if you want a no-card way to test whether TenderHawk understands your business. Standard is £19/month for daily monitoring, relevant alerts and weekly sector intelligence, with the first month at £9.99. Pro is £49/month for renewal watch, award and competitor analysis, and deeper review of strategic opportunities, with the first month at £24.99. Paid plans bill immediately through Stripe.

Worth checking
Is the notice current and official?

Usually a warning sign
claiming a portal route that the notice does not support
pretending a fallback source is full official API coverage
using source pages as generic SEO filler
