Using online sources to unlock new tender opportunities

Online resources are invaluable when looking for new opportunities and long-term contracts. While knowing where to begin can be tricky, once you figure it out, it can be a great way to source new revenue streams.

Do your research

The first step is to familiarise yourself with the websites that list the contract notices most relevant to your industry or business offering. Different countries and regions will have various portals and websites, so it's essential to do your research beforehand. Once you've identified the right sources, set up automatic notifications and alerts so that you are informed of any new and relevant tender opportunities.

Government sources

Are you looking for an opportunity to work with the government? Well, visiting public sector websites is a perfect starting point. Government organisations regularly announce contract and framework notices on their sites. The UK Treasury recently reported that £295.5 billion was spent in procurement within 2019/20 - 32% of all public sector spending! This means plenty of potential opportunities await you if you know where to look!

Industry sources

Another valuable source of contract opportunities is industry sites, such as trade associations and sector-specific organisations. These websites are excellent resources for businesses of all sizes, serving as a hub for the latest industry and sector-specific news. As such, they are a perfect first point of call when searching for tender notices and other procurement information.

Social media

You may also find opportunities on social media platforms like Twitter and LinkedIn. People often post links to tender opportunities here, so these websites can be a great way to stay informed even if the opportunity is not listed elsewhere. Ensure you follow the appropriate accounts and join relevant groups to get first-hand access to news about ITT opportunities.
