Every public tech tender

Software, web, cloud, security, data, IT support and staffing, from governments, health, education and utilities. Tech work only.

Can we bid this?

Each requirement that could stop a small firm, quoted from the notice and checked against your profile: certifications, insurance, clearances, supplier lists, where you can work.

Coming back up

Questions people ask first

Is it free?

Yes. Finding tenders, reading them and getting weekly alerts are free, and that is meant to stay true for good, not only during early access. StackBid plans to earn money from optional services around bidding, such as bid help and introductions to larger firms looking for partners. There is no paid placement in your matches.

Which countries does it cover?

Canada, the US, the UK, Europe and Australia now, with a page per country at /countries that says who can bid from abroad. New Zealand comes next. You can sign up free from anywhere, and we use where members are to decide where to open next.

Where do the tenders come from?

The official public tender sites: CanadaBuys and Quebec's SEAO in Canada, SAM.gov in the US, Find a Tender and Contracts Finder in the UK, TED for the European Union and AusTender in Australia. StackBid checks for new and changed notices every hour and keeps only technology work.

What does "Can we bid this?" check?

It finds the requirements in a notice that could stop a small firm, such as security clearances, SOC 2 or ISO 27001, insurance limits, Canadian data hosting, bilingual delivery and pre-qualified supplier lists. Then it compares each one with your firm profile. Each answer quotes the notice's own words, so you can check it.
