Opportunities
Learn how open opportunities and award research fit together.
When to use Awards
Use award research before you commit bid effort, especially when:- The buyer has awarded similar work before
- A small group of suppliers keeps winning related contracts
- You need a sense of likely contract size or market activity
- You want to understand incumbent suppliers before deciding your approach
- Your team is entering a new region, category, or buyer relationship
Search award history
Start with keywords, buyer names, supplier names, contract categories, locations, or published dates. Narrow the results until the list reflects the market you care about. Good searches usually combine:- The service or product area
- Buyer or funder names
- Location or delivery region
- Terms that appear in previous contract titles
- Exclusions for unrelated industries or contract types
Review an award
Open an award to review the details that matter for bid strategy:| Detail | How to use it |
|---|---|
| Buyer | Understand who bought the service and whether they appear often in your target market |
| Supplier | See who won and whether the same supplier appears across related work |
| Value and dates | Estimate contract size, timing, and possible renewal cycles |
| Description | Compare the awarded scope with open opportunities you are considering |
| Related records | Move between related tenders, awards, buyers, and suppliers when available |
Buyer and supplier research
Use buyer and supplier views to understand patterns, not just a single award. Look for:- Repeated buyer activity in the same category
- Suppliers that regularly win with a buyer
- Contract values that set expectations for future work
- Similar scopes that may help you position your response
- Related tender records that explain how the work was originally procured
Turn research into action
Award history does not decide whether you should bid, but it gives useful context. After reviewing awards:- Save useful buyer, supplier, and contract notes in the project.
- Run Pre-qualification if an open opportunity looks promising.
- Ask AI to compare the award history with your evidence and likely strengths.
- Decide whether the opportunity is worth a deeper pursuit plan.
