# Opportunities
> Find, search, assess, and track tender and grant opportunities in Tendor.
Use **Opportunities** to find tenders and grants that may fit your organisation. Use **Awards** to research awarded work, suppliers, buyers, and related history.

## Browse tenders and grants
The opportunity feed helps you review open tenders and grants in one place. Use filters and search to narrow by opportunity type, location, deadline, category, and status.
Open an opportunity to review:
* Buyer or funder details
* Deadline and location
* Description and requirements
* Attachments
* Fit signals and AI actions
## Advanced Search
Advanced Search helps when a simple keyword search is too broad. You can build keyword groups, add exclusion terms, and save searches you use often.
Use keyword groups to describe the kind of work you want. Use exclusions to remove work you know is not a fit.
Examples:
| Goal | Include | Exclude |
| -------------------------------- | -------------------------------- | --------------------------- |
| Find cleaning contracts | cleaning, facilities, hygiene | waste, pest, laundry |
| Find grant programs for training | training, workforce, skills | student loans, scholarships |
| Track construction-related work | civil, construction, maintenance | residential, private sale |
Use saved searches for recurring market scans such as:
* A service line
* A region
* A buyer group
* A grant program
* Keywords that usually indicate a good or bad fit
Keep saved searches narrow enough that your team can review them regularly. Delete saved searches that no longer reflect the work you want to pursue.
## Review an opportunity
When you open an opportunity, start with the items that affect whether your team should spend time on it:
| Check | Why it matters |
| --------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Deadline | Confirms whether there is enough time to prepare a response |
| Buyer or funder | Helps you understand the relationship, market, and likely expectations |
| Location | Confirms whether your team can deliver the work |
| Requirements | Surfaces mandatory criteria, evidence needs, and possible disqualifiers |
| Attachments | Gives Ask AI and your reviewers the source documents needed for assessment |
If an opportunity looks promising, run Pre-qualification before creating a full bid plan. If it is clearly not a fit, leave it in discovery instead of creating unnecessary project work.
## Attachments and missing documents
Opportunity attachments appear in the detail panel when available. You can search attachments by filename or folder.
If a listing has no attachments, Tendor may show an option to request documents or direct you to the original listing. When requested documents become available, your team can review them before creating or updating a project.
## Run pre-qualification
Before creating a full bid plan, run **Pre-qualification / Gap Analysis**. It checks mandatory requirements, hidden disqualifiers, evidence gaps, and go/no-go risk against your organisation profile and files.
## Create a project
Create a project when your team decides to pursue an opportunity. The project keeps buyer documents, analysis, drafts, comments, generated files, and final exports together.
You can also create standalone projects from **Projects** when work is not linked to a tender or grant feed item.
## Awards
Use **Awards** to understand past purchasing activity before you commit bid effort. Award details can help you review suppliers, buyers, contract values, related awards, and patterns that may affect how competitive an opportunity is.
