The Benefits of being a Member

"An all inclusive, cost effective service to help you identify new opportunities and win business"

  Tenders Direct is an invaluable source of business leads for Vacherin. Without tenders direct we would not have known about the Design Council catering tender. The Design Council were looking for a high quality, flexible caterer for their staff dining, hospitality and events and were impressed by our personal, foodie approach. I am delighted to say that the contract is going exceptionally well. 

Phil Roker, Vacherin

Daily Email Alerts

We send you email alerts the day the tenders are published, so you're always ahead of your competitors. You can also add a second email address at any time to receive tenders.

Here's an Example Alert of what you'll receive.


OJEU & Lower Value Tenders

A tender is classified as an OJEU tender if its value is above a certain threshold. We are licensed by the European Commission to distribute all the OJEU tenders on a daily basis.

As the name would suggest, Lower Value Tenders are not published in the OJEU and are sometimes known as ‘below threshold tenders’. We have a Sourcing Team who are solely dedicated to finding lower value tenders, making Tenders Direct the most comprehensive single source of tenders in the UK.


UK & European Tenders

We realise that you most likely want to receive tenders from the UK and Ireland - you can even refine your profile to focus on the specific regions you are interested in. However, we can also send you tenders from any other European country - simply select the countries of interest when you subscribe or adjust your profile at any time.


Private Sector Tenders

Utilities such as Power Generation, Water Boards, Railways and Airports, together with other private sector organisations publish both OJEU and Lower Value tenders which are available on Tenders Direct.


Contract Award Notices

As part of your profile you can choose to receive Contract Award Notices which give you details on the suppliers who are winning contracts. You can use this information as a market monitoring tool and also to identify possible sub-contracting opportunities.
