About Out For Tender

Out For Tender publishes public tenders from around the world, free to read, updated every hour.

Why it exists

Public procurement notices are public documents. Governments publish them so that anyone can bid, which is the whole point of putting contracts out to tender. Yet most of the sites that gather them up put a login in front, charge a subscription, and block search engines from reading what was public in the first place.

This site does the opposite. Every tender we hold is readable without an account, quotable by anyone including language models, and available as JSON through a free API.

Where the data comes from

We take tenders only from official open-data sources: the European Union's TED, the UK's Find a Tender and Contracts Finder, the World Bank, CanadaBuys, France's BOAMP, Colombia's SECOP II and the US government's SAM.gov. We add more as we find sources that publish openly and under a licence we can honour. Every listing links back to the official notice.

We currently hold 33,720 open tenders from 120 countries.

What this site is not

• It is not a bidding platform. Bids are submitted on the buyer's own portal. We link you there and stop.
• It is not a consultancy or a lead broker. We do not sell your details, because we do not collect them.
• It is not authoritative. The official notice is. Ours is a copy, made at a point in time; deadlines get extended and notices get withdrawn.
