Top Tenders is a North East focused tender alerts service built for busy tradespeople who want more quoting work, less
scrolling and fewer missed opportunities.
We handpick relevant tenders and contract leads across the North East and send them to you in a clear, quick-to-scan format, so you can decide fast and price the jobs that make sense for your business.
If you are searching for North East tenders, UK tenders for trades,
construction tenders, property maintenance tenders or
public sector tender opportunities, you are in the right place.
Our mission
Make tendering simpler for local trades and SMEs by curating opportunities that match how you actually work: realistic
values, clear locations, sensible scopes and practical deadlines.
We focus on surfacing the opportunities that are easy to miss if you are not sitting on portals all day, including small works, planned maintenance, reactive maintenance, minor projects and packages that suit local firms.
How we find and filter opportunities
We take the best approach from the major tender platforms: strong categorisation, clear scope summaries and
consistency.
Then we add what they often do not: a trade-first filter and North East local context
so you do not waste time on irrelevant notices.
Our process is simple:
Scan multiple sources for UK tender notices and contract opportunities across construction,
property, facilities and engineering.
Filter by trade and location so you see the opportunities most likely to fit your business.
Summarise clearly with scope, value band where available, location, deadline and next steps.
Send regularly so you stay on top of new opportunities without living on portals.
We aim to prioritise opportunities that are suitable for local contractors and SMEs, including lower value tenders and
regional lots where published.
