Notices browse

Overview

Notices browse is Tendersight's primary discovery surface for public procurement — the place you search, filter, and scan tenders before opening a notice detail page or starting a pursuit. Official publications from European sources (SEAP, TED, and national portals) flow into one searchable catalog so your team does not retype titles, deadlines, or CPV codes by hand.

Browse is the market-intelligence entry point upstream of everything else in Opportunities: notice detail tabs, alert rulesets, analytics drill-through, and pursuit creation. The same filter engine powers Lead Finder, the Home assistant tender search, and the alert ruleset builder — criteria you tune here can become a saved watch in minutes.

Tip: Before you rely on browse results for a bid decision, confirm you have:

Selected the correct active team if you plan to create a pursuit afterward
Applied Ongoing status when you only want actionable tenders
Narrowed with country and CPV before stacking keyword filters (avoids zero-result traps)
Bookmarked Lead Finder if your team discovers tenders there daily

Important: Notices in browse are read-only market data. You cannot edit publication fields from the list. When you are ready to bid, you open a notice and create a pursuit — your team's editable workspace.

How browse fits in the product

Stage	What browse gives you	What happens next
Discover	Filtered list of tenders	Open notice overview
Evaluate	Row-level snapshot (value, deadline, authority)	Read documents, lots, versions
Monitor	Saved filter criteria	Create alert from tuned search
Execute	Link to notice detail	Create pursuit

See Notice (Tender) for how notices differ from pursuits.

How to open notices browse

Path A — Main app sidebar (recommended)

Sign in to Tendersight (guests can browse but have limited actions).
In the left sidebar, open Opportunities → Notices.
You land in Lead Finder — the dedicated discovery experience for browsing tenders at scale.

Path B — Embedded entry points

From	What you get
Home recent notices widget	Short list; click title → notice overview
Team overview	Team-scoped recent notice activity
Alert email or Activity tab	Deep link to a matched notice (not the full browse list)
Analytics company or authority profile	Tender rows that open the same notice detail

Practical note: Bookmark Lead Finder if your team lives there daily. Links from alerts, emails, and dashboards still deep-link into Tendersight notice detail pages on your domain.

Lead Finder integration

Choosing Opportunities → Notices opens Lead Finder — a specialized host for high-volume tender search. The filters, result rows, and sort options are shared with:

Lead Finder browse UI
Home assistant tender search
Alert ruleset rule builder (step 2 of Create alert)
Dashboard assistant actions that search tenders

If you remain in the main Tendersight app without Lead Finder, notice lists also appear embedded on Home and in analytics views — but the canonical full-filter browse experience is Lead Finder.

Caution: Lead Finder may run on a different subdomain for performance. Notice detail pages remain on your Tendersight domain. A redirect away from tendersight.com during browse is expected, not an error.

Page layout

Desktop: fixed left panel.

Mobile: filter sheet opened from a filter button.

Click + New filter (or Add filter).
Pick a category from the filter picker.
Configure values in the dialog.
Applied filters appear as badges with preview chips at the top of the panel.
Click the dismiss control on a badge to remove that constraint.

Filter category	What it matches	Typical use
Keywords	Title, description, and tender document text	Product names, standards, notice numbers
Country	Publication country	Geographic pipeline
CPV codes	Industry classification	Sector-focused watches
Notice type	CN, SCN, CAN, award notices, etc.	Procedure phase filtering
Contract type	Supplies, services, works	Align with team capability
Status	Ongoing, awarded, cancelled, expired	Actionable vs research-only
Estimated value	Min/max currency range	Deal-size band
Publication date	Date range	Fresh publications only
Deadline	Submission window	Urgency filtering
Contracting authority	Specific buyer	Authority-centric pipeline
Awarded companies	Winner name (post-award)	Competitor win research
Procedure type	Open, restricted, negotiated, etc.	Eligibility context

All active filters combine with AND logic — every condition must pass for a notice to appear.

Results list

Each row typically shows:

Element	Description
Contract title	Click to open Notice overview
Status badge	Ongoing, awarded, cancelled, etc.
Notice type badge	CN, SCN, etc.
Contract type badge	Supplies / services / works
Estimated value	Formatted currency or N/A
Deadline	Date with days-left indicator when ongoing
Contracting authority	Buyer name; may link to authority profile
Country / source	Flag and system name (SEAP, TED, …)

Sort and pagination

Use the list header to sort by relevance, publication date, deadline, or estimated value (exact labels in UI). Pagination appears at top and bottom on long result sets — page changes fetch the next slice without losing filter state.

View preferences (signed in)

Signed-in users may persist column visibility and list density. Preferences follow your account across sessions.

Primary workflow — from browse to pursuit

Step-by-step

Open Opportunities → Notices.
Add filters — start with country, CPV, and Ongoing status.
Optionally add keywords for product or technology terms (searches document text, not only the short description).
Sort by deadline when triaging urgency.
Click a contract title to open the notice.
On overview, confirm latest version, submission deadline, and documents.
Click Create pursuit or Receive alerts for similar future notices.

Filter strategies

Start broad, then narrow

CPV + country + ongoing status catches most actionable pipelines. Add keywords only after the result set is manageable — over-filtering with five constraints at once often returns zero rows.

Keywords search documents

The keyword engine indexes tender document text. This is the same engine that powers alert matching. A term buried in a PDF attachment can surface a notice even when the overview description is generic.

Post-award research

Use Awarded companies to answer: which notices did competitor X win? Pair with Status: Awarded and open Notice participants on the detail page.

Turn browse into monitoring

After tuning filters:

Note which constraints matter (CPV, value band, authority).
Open Create alert → step 2 and recreate the same filters.
Or on any matching notice, click Receive alerts on Notice overview to seed criteria automatically.

Guest vs signed-in

Other discovery paths (when browse is not the start)

Entry	When to use it
Opportunities → Alerts → Activity	You already have rulesets; review new matches
Home assistant	Natural-language search ("IT tenders in Romania over 500k")
Team overview → Notices	Quick scan of team-relevant recent activity
Analytics → Companies / Authorities	Buyer- or competitor-centric tender lists
Market statistics drill-through	Segment-based discovery from charts

Browse answers "what is in the market right now?" Alerts answer "tell me when something new matches my criteria." Use both.

What you can and cannot do from browse

You can

Search and filter the full catalog
Open any notice detail page
Copy share links from notice command bar (after opening a row)
Seed alert criteria from tuned filters
Jump to analytics profiles from authority or company links on rows (when shown)

You cannot

Edit notice title, deadline, CPV, or authority from the list
Create a pursuit directly from a row without opening the notice (pursuit actions live on detail pages)
Force a sync — listings update on Tendersight's schedule from official sources
Export the entire result set as a bulk download from browse (use per-notice document download on overview)

Troubleshooting

Issue	Likely cause	What to do
Redirect to Lead Finder subdomain	Expected browse host	Continue; detail pages stay on Tendersight
Zero results	Over-filtered	Remove CPV or keyword; widen value range
Stale deadline on row	Sync delay	Open notice; check publication date and Versions timeline
Cannot create pursuit	Guest or no team	Sign in; join or select active team
Filters differ from alerts	UI version drift	Core filter types match; recreate ruleset if needed
Notice number not found	Wrong field	Try keyword filter with official identifier

FAQ

Why am I redirected away from tendersight.com when I open Notices?

Notices browse is hosted on Lead Finder for performance and specialized UX. Notice detail pages, pursuits, and team settings remain on your Tendersight domain.

Are filters identical in Lead Finder, browse, and alerts?

Core filter types and AND semantics are the same. Lead Finder may expose layout options first; alert rulesets use the same filter dialogs in the create wizard.

Can I search by official notice number?

Yes — use the Keywords filter or type the identifier in keyword search. Official notice IDs often match when published in title or documents.

Do browse results include historical awarded tenders?

Yes when you include Awarded or Expired in status filters. For ongoing pipeline work, restrict to Ongoing.

How do I save my favorite filter combination?

Create an alert ruleset with the same filters. Browse itself does not save named searches except via list view preferences (columns/density).

Can two teams see different notices in browse?

No — the catalog is shared market data. Teams differ only in pursuits, alerts, and permissions after sign-in.
