Questions

How is this different from the free Contracts Finder alerts?

Find a Tender and Contracts Finder both offer free basic email alerts, and they work. We read both portals and send one email across the two, filtered for agency work by CPV codes (and, with Pro, by your own keywords), each notice dated and linked to the official notice. The free weekly top 10 needs no portal account.

Which portals do you read?

The two official UK sources: Find a Tender and Contracts Finder (Cabinet Office), read every day and used under the Open Government Licence v3.0. We keep open tender notices only, not award or contract notices. The read time is shown next to every number on this page.

Does it cover the Procurement Act notices?

Yes. Since the Procurement Act 2023 came into force on 24 February 2025, notices under the Act are published on Find a Tender, which we read; Contracts Finder still carries notices for procurements started under the earlier rules, and we read it too.

Who is behind it?

Bikoosh, an independent tracker that reads official sources and dates every fact. Independent, not affiliated with the UK government.

How do I cancel, and can I get a refund?

Pro is sold and billed by Gumroad, the merchant of record. Cancel any time from your Gumroad receipt or library; cancel during the free trial and you are not charged. A refund request goes through the Gumroad receipt for the charge, and Gumroad may issue a refund within 90 days of that charge at its own discretion under its refund policy. The free weekly email is free and one click unsubscribes.

Can you guarantee we win work?

No. We only make sure the matching notices reach you while they are open.
