Find UK companies that just won a public contract — daily.
UK public-contract feeds publish thousands of awards every month. Reading them all is impossible. Filtering them to the companies on your lost-deal list — that's the entire job here.
Why contract wins are buying signals
A company that just won a £2m council contract has new staffing requirements, new compliance obligations, and a fresh budget envelope. Whoever sells into the “new revenue creates new requirements” pattern (staffing, IT, training, finance, premises) should be in front of them inside a fortnight. It often stacks with a parallel UK hiring signal — score boost.
Suppliers selling into the public sector itself benefit even more directly — adjacent subcontracting, supply-chain partnerships, or competitive intelligence on rivals.
Hertfordshire County Council, 36-month term, services tendered in May. Award notice published yesterday. The same company stalled an HR-software conversation with you in March.
The 24–48 hour window
Procurement isn't the same as the operational ramp-up. The contract is signed, the press notice is filed, and the project team has a kickoff date. The first 24–48 hours after the award notice is when the supplier conversations are happening — kit, staff, training, systems. Beyond a week, the obvious vendors have already been called.
What ends up in the email
The award notice, the contract value, the awarding authority, and the link to the source. Plus a re-engagement angle Claude has drafted with the contract context built in. Not “Saw you won a contract — congrats!”, but a specific message that ties their new operational requirement to your offer.
Frequently asked
Are these only government contracts?+
Public-sector and public-bodies contracts (NHS, councils, central government, agencies). Private B2B contracts aren't disclosed publicly so they're not in scope. Most UK B2B vendors find the public-sector signal valuable on its own — it's a leading indicator that a private supplier has won meaningful work.
How fresh is the data?+
Awards typically appear within 1–2 days of being published on the UK public-contract feeds. Our worker checks daily, so the lag is tight. The 24–72 hour window post-award is where the highest-value re-engagement happens.
Why does a contract win matter for me as a supplier?+
Two reasons. First, the company has new revenue and new operational requirements — staffing, software, services. Second, the procurement decision-makers are demonstrably active. They just made a significant supplier choice and are likely to make adjacent ones in the same window.
Is this on every plan?+
Yes — on every plan, trial included. UK public-contract feeds run against all 100 companies during the trial and all 5,000 Scale-tier companies alike. The only thing that changes between tiers is how many companies you can monitor.
