tender service

A tender service is a tool that helps businesses find, monitor, and participate in public tenders. Think of it as a digital assistant that makes it easier to compete for public contracts.

How does a tender service work?

A tender service acts as a link between suppliers and contracting authorities. It aggregates tenders from various tender portals such as Doffin (the Norwegian database for public procurement) in one place, making it easy to:

• Get an overview of relevant tenders for your business
• Receive tender alerts when new opportunities arise
• Keep track of deadlines and documentation
• Get help drafting tender responses

For example: An IT consulting firm that wants to provide services to the public sector can use a tender service like Cobrief to automatically receive alerts when municipalities or government agencies publish tenders matching their expertise. Instead of manually checking multiple portals every day, relevant opportunities arrive straight in their inbox.

Benefits of tender services

Modern tender services often offer smart features such as:

• Automatic filtering of relevant tenders
• Reminders about important deadlines
• Templates and tools for writing tender responses
• Analysis of previous tender procedures
• AI-powered text generation for tender documents

A good tender service saves time and increases the chances of winning tenders by making the process more transparent and efficient. It also helps smaller businesses compete for public contracts by making the tender process more accessible.

A tender service is therefore an important tool for businesses that want to participate in public procurement. It simplifies the process from finding relevant tenders to submitting competitive bids, giving businesses better opportunities to win public contracts.
