Tender Match
3 credits / callA UK business → the live public-sector contracts that fit what it does.
Reads what a business does, scans open Contracts Finder notices, and returns the matches with a fit score and the reason for each.
The public sector spends billions a year with outside suppliers and wants more of it with small firms, but finding the right notice means reading hundreds a week on Contracts Finder. This endpoint does the reading: give it a business (name or website) and it reads what the business actually does, scans the open notices published in the last week (or up to 30 days), and returns the ones that fit, each with a fit score and a one-line reason.

Why developers pick it
Reads the business first
Matches against what the business actually does (from its own website), not keywords typed into a search box.
Open notices only
Contracts Finder notices still open for bids, deduplicated, with ones closing within two days left out.
A reason with every match
Each fit comes with one line of why, so a person can decide in seconds.
