Public-tender watch, explained simply

Public procurement in France is worth around 160 billion euros a year. Tens of thousands of small businesses bid on it. The problem is not a lack of contracts: it is finding the right ones without losing your evenings.

Where are contracts published?

Above certain thresholds, public buyers must publish a notice. BOAMP, the official bulletin edited by DILA, is the reference source, released as open data. Below thresholds, some contracts go through buyer profiles or the press, and escape centralised watching.

Why keyword alerts are not enough

A notice does not necessarily use your vocabulary. An electrician searches "electrical", but the contract is titled "public lighting renovation" or "low-voltage installation". The keyword alert misses these, and floods you with false positives. That is exactly what semantic matching fixes: comparing the meaning of your activity to the meaning of the notice.

The three habits that win contracts

First, describe your activity precisely, not in a single word. Second, track deadlines from publication, not the day before. Third, keep a record of seen contracts to spot upcoming renewals. Tendveo automates these three habits.
