DealFinder
The specimen

A watch, not a feed

Most of the public work you lose, you never saw.

DealFinder reads the day’s public contract notices and sends the three worth your week. The buyer, the money, the deadline, and the grounds for bidding — or for letting it go.

For firms of 5 to 50 people that employ nobody to bid.
United States and United Kingdom.
Weekly digest free. Watch Pass — 30 days, $25.

Plate — a normal Tuesday. Hundreds of notices posted. Three worth your week.

01

You hear about it on day twelve of a fourteen-day window.

You know public work exists, and you know you are losing it. So you check the portals by hand on a Friday — SAM.gov, Contracts Finder, Find a Tender, a dozen council pages — at five minutes each. Or you switch on the portals’ free keyword alerts and are flooded by Monday. Both habits end the same way. The notice you could have won closes before anyone reads it.

The tools built for this were built for people whose whole job is bidding. They win on breadth, and they all hand over the same thing: a longer list. Nobody reads the list for you.

A firm with no bid manager does not need more opportunities. It needs to know which three of four hundred it could win.

02

A digest that ends in a decision, not a backlog.

01

Describe your firm once

Two lines: what you sell, and where you will work. That profile is your Watch. No keywords, no product codes.

02

We read, every morning

The agents pull the public sources, cut the day down by trade, region and value, then read what is left against your Watch.

03

Three matches, with grounds

Every match carries a verdict, a fit score, the buyer, the value, and the deadline with the days remaining.

Find a Tender

We skipped 23. Here is why.

Fit 38
Hardware supply, not services. You do not resell equipment.
Fit 31
Northern Ireland only. Outside the region on your Watch.
Fit 24
£8,000 ceiling. Beneath the smallest contract worth your week.
Fit 19
Closes 27 February 2026 — 1 day. Not enough time to write it.
Fit 12
Cyber Essentials Plus required. Not on your record.

Then 18 more, each with its reason.

Every rival sends a longer list. We show the wastebasket, with the reasons written in it.

The data is free. The reading is the product.

Every notice we read is public, and always will be. SAM.gov publishes a daily extract of open opportunities. Contracts Finder and Find a Tender publish open interfaces. What a ten-person firm does not have is an afternoon to read 412 of them.

So the reading is the cost we carry. Each opportunity is read once, and its verdict serves every firm it could fit. That is why a Watch Pass is $25 for 30 days, not a licence priced for a bid department.

The only public-contract watch that reads the shortlist for you and hands a reasoned verdict to firms that employ nobody to bid.
