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.
Example Alert
This is the kind of signal we send
Source-backed examples, no jargon. This is the kind of signal Free Scout users will receive.
Morning - TenderHawk found a live software opportunity worth checking.
Staff Survey Software
The notice asks for bilingual Welsh and English staff surveys, secure admin access, templates and bespoke surveys. At £60k, it is not a giant transformation project. It is focused public-sector software work with a clear buyer, value and deadline.
