Can anyone recommend a website for IT tenders?
It would seem most charge, which I don't have an issue with as long as there is good content coming through on a regular basis.

Thanks

I've never had anything from any of them if I'm honest, what I've found from the ones I've tried is they want 'something that does X' and contain certain expressions and terms that are used in our competitors marketing pdfs, so you kind of get the feeling that they're going through the motions and the product has already been decided, it's just a case of where from and how much

The better way I've found to get into these is plain old fashioned calls and meetings, intro the stuff you have way before they're thinking about buying

Tenders Direct list every single public sector tender across the EU for contracts above €125k, which - for the time being - includes the UK. It does cost though - around £1700 a year.

All UK public sector buyers list these and lower value tenders via numerous portals such as YORTedner and others. These are free but take a bit of sifting to get what you want.

We're about to try these guys out: www.contractsadvance.co.uk
