1) We search the portals so you don’t have to

We scan multiple tender sources and procurement portals used by public sector and large buyers, pulling together opportunities that relate to construction, maintenance and property works across North East England.

2) We shortlist the ones that matter

Not every listing is worth your time. We filter and format opportunities into a clear digest so you can quickly spot what fits your business.

3) You get one email with everything in it

Each Top Tenders email includes, where available:

• Clear opportunity title and quick summary
• Location / area covered
• Deadline and key dates
• Contract length and value (if stated)
• Buyer type (council, housing association, NHS, FM provider, etc.)
• Direct link to the listing and tender documents

4) You click through and decide whether to bid

If it’s a fit, you follow the link and submit your bid via the buyer’s system. Top Tenders doesn’t lock you into a platform, it just helps you find work faster.
