Thirty platforms, not one
TED only carries what lies above the EU thresholds. Below them, every country publishes on its own portal — and that is where many of the contracts for a specialist product are.
For specialist suppliers selling abroad
Rail technology, special civil engineering, measurement, lab equipment, medical niches, environmental sensing, special vehicles: a narrow product has a handful of relevant tenders per country per year. Each one is worth having, and most of them are missed — because they appear on a Finnish or Greek platform, in Finnish or Greek.

Nobody searches Hilma for “raitiotien melunvaimennus”. A keyword alert in English finds the English notices, and the Finnish one says it in Finnish.
Checking a dozen portals every week is a part-time job. In a company of twenty people, nobody has it, so the checking stops after the second month.
Describe your product in a sentence, in your language. The campaign runs against TED and every national platform we have connected, and it finds notices by meaning, not only by the exact word.
Every hit shows the original and the translation side by side, so you can judge in ten seconds whether it is yours — and the translation is marked as such.
No email without a new match. You follow the link to the publishing platform and decide there.
From Solo upwards, prior information notices count too: the earliest sign that a buyer is preparing something — often months before the tender.

Most teams like this start with Solo.
EUR 15 a month
All of Europe, five campaigns, prior information and a daily email — for one person, at EUR 15 a month. The free plan is enough to see whether your campaign finds the right things.
We do not download tender documents, we do not analyse criteria and we do not manage bids. We tell you that something is being tendered, in your language, and link you to the platform that published it — the documents and the submission stay there.
