Authority tenders

Overview

The Tenders tab on a contracting authority profile lists notices that buyer published — ongoing, awarded, cancelled, and historical — for buyer behavior analysis and opportunity discovery. It is the fastest path from "how does this ministry buy?" to opening actionable Notice overview pages.

Like all Analytics surfaces, authority tenders are read-only. Your team's active bids remain on Team → Pursuits.

Tip: Before filtering the list, confirm you have:

Opened the correct authority (country + name match)
Applied status = Ongoing when hunting new work
Sorted by deadline or publication date as your workflow requires
Checked Authority statistics for seasonality so you do not miss off-peak publications

Important: A tender row here is the same notice object as Opportunities → Notices. Always verify latest version on notice detail before Create pursuit.

FAQ

Is this the same data as Notices browse?

Same notice records — filtered to one contracting authority.

Can I save this filter?

Bookmark URL with query params if supported; or create an Alert for the buyer's CPV/country pattern.

Why doesn't a known tender appear?

Authority name mismatch across sources — search Notices browse by identifier.

How do I track only high-value tenders?

Use value range filter + alerts with minimum value rules.

Does creating a pursuit notify the authority?

No. Pursuits are private team workspaces.

Can I compare two authorities' tender lists?

Open two browser tabs — no built-in side-by-side compare.
