What Tenderlake is
Tenderlake is a web-based procurement service for companies selling to public-sector buyers. Its Monitor reads tender notices against a plain-language description of a supplier’s products and services, identifies matching opportunities and explains the reason for each match. Coverage can focus on the UK and Ireland or extend across the UK, European Union, Norway, Switzerland, World Bank tenders and more. On Europe/UK/Int+, non-English European notices can be searched and read in English and the local language. Monitor sends tenders to Microsoft Teams or Slack channels. Tenderlake Analyst answers questions about buyers, competitors and markets using more than a decade of public procurement history, citing notices, awards, dates, values and named buyers while separating evidence from inference. A REST API retrieves notices and searches. Browser-to-server data uses TLS/HTTPS, and storage is in the United Kingdom. A seven-day trial is available; paid plans begin at £249 a year.
