Set a tender alert once — by sector, buyer, and country — and new government contract opportunities reach you within minutes of posting, across 194 markets.

## How tender alerts work

### Scope the alert to what you sell

Filter by sector, buying agency, country, and value band. You only hear about tenders you could actually win — not the whole firehose.

### Real-time, not next-day

Alerts fire within minutes of a tender being posted. On short-deadline RFPs, that head start is the difference between bidding and missing it.

### Watch the buyers, not just the tenders

Follow specific agencies and get notified when they post or award. See a buyer's pattern before they're back in the market.

### Pipe alerts into your stack

Beyond email, pull matching tenders over the REST API or have an AI agent monitor them through the MCP server — alerts that live where your team already works.

## FAQ

### What are tender alerts?

Tender alerts notify you when a new government contract matching your criteria is published. Instead of checking bid sites daily, you set the criteria once — sector, buyer, country, value — and new tender opportunities and contract opportunities are pushed to you automatically.

### How fast are Sell to State tender alerts?

Alerts fire within minutes of a tender being posted to a monitored portal, rather than on a next-day digest, so you have the most time to respond to short-deadline opportunities.

### Can I get alerts for specific agencies?

Yes. You can scope alerts to specific buying agencies and be notified when they post a tender or award a contract — useful for tracking accounts you already sell into.

### Can alerts feed into another system?

Yes. Beyond email, you can pull matching tenders over the REST API or monitor them through the MCP server, so alerts integrate with your CRM, scripts, or AI assistant.
