Where does the data come from?

We aggregate from official UK and EU procurement sources — Contracts Finder, Find a Tender (covering Northern Ireland too), eTenders Ireland (below-threshold Irish notices that never reach TED), and TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) — alongside grants from Innovate UK and UKRI.

New opportunities are ingested within minutes of being published at source. We re-scan every hour and re-index changes (deadlines, awards) as they happen.

What does AI matching do exactly?

You describe your business in plain English once. We embed your description as a vector and continuously compare every new opportunity against it. You get a ranked, confidence-scored feed instead of trawling 60,000 listings yourself.

How is this different from Stotles, Tussell, or BidStats?

Enterprise platforms charge thousands a year and are built for BD teams running saved searches and account intelligence. BidSonar is free, semantic out of the box (no saved searches to babysit), and aimed at the people who'll actually deliver the work. BidStats is closer in spirit but keyword-only and contracts-only — BidSonar adds AI matching and grants.

Do I need an account?

No. Browsing the directory, opening any contract, and reading buyer profiles is free and signed out. An account unlocks personalised matching and email alerts.

Is BidSonar affiliated with the government or any procurement body?

No. BidSonar is an independent index — we read from public feeds and add structure, search, and matching on top. We are not a tender authority and we do not charge to list.

CSV export from any filtered view is on the roadmap and lands shortly. In the meantime every opportunity links back to the canonical source.
