TenderHawk angle
Fewer bad matches, clearer decisions.
The point is not to create another giant tender database. The point is to read the public-contract noise first, then surface fewer, better matches with the buyer, value, deadline, source and likely red flags visible.
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.
