A notice can be relevant without using your exact words.
Contracts Finder is a key public source for opportunities, future work, and previous contracts. BidSkim adds fit scoring, dedupe, summaries, buyer context, and renewal clues.
What this source is
Contracts Finder lets suppliers search information about contracts worth over GBP 12,000 including VAT with government and its agencies. It also shows future opportunities and previous tenders and contracts.
BidSkim watches Contracts Finder data, cleans repeated notices, and connects tender and award records where the public identifiers make that safe.
What BidSkim adds
Each source record sits inside a wider five-year history, so you can see the buyer, supplier, lifecycle, and renewal context around it.
BidSkim scores the notice against your services, regions, contract size, and requirements.
Award records feed supplier profiles, buyer history, and renewal signals where dates are published.
Source links stay visible so your team can move from shortlist to official notice quickly.
