Tender alerts for European SMEs
Stop missing contracts you could win.
Public buyers publish thousands of contracts a week across dozens of portals, in more than twenty languages. Vunna reads every one against what your company does and sends you the handful worth quoting for.
Built on official European procurement sources
Open right now across Europe
Every match links straight back to the official notice, with the buyer, the deadline and the documents as the publisher filed them.
Official sources only
TED plus the German and Dutch national portals, pulled from their own open-data APIs. We publish the source of every match.
Refreshed every hour
New notices are scored the day they publish. Every source reports when it last delivered, so a portal that goes quiet shows up as a fault instead of as an empty feed.
Scored, with the reason attached
Every match shows the score it earned and the profile terms behind it, on the free plan too. Starter and Pro add a written line on each one saying why it fits, or which part of it does not.
The contract was open for six weeks. Nobody told you.
Most companies find public work one of two ways. They check a portal when they remember to, which means the weeks they were busy are the weeks they missed. Or they set up keyword alerts, which only catch notices worded the way they happened to guess.
A road builder with an alert on "asphalt" never sees "Rahmenvertrag Strassenunterhaltung und Asphaltarbeiten". Same work, different words, and the buyer awarded it to somebody who was watching more closely.
Vunna reads notices the way a person would: by what the work is, not by the words the buyer chose for it.
How it works
Describe your company once
Two questions: who is bidding, and what you deliver. The second answer is what every notice gets measured against. Countries, contract sizes and CPV codes are optional and sharpen the feed further.
We read every new notice
Every hour we pull what has just been published and read it against your profile by meaning rather than wording. No keyword lists, no daily log-in, nothing to remember on a busy week.
You get a shortlist you can act on
A ranked feed with the buyer, the deadline and the contract value on every row, and a line saying what earned the score or which part does not fit. Most mornings it is a thirty second read.
Built for companies without a bid desk
Large contractors employ somebody to watch the portals, or pay an agency to do it. If you do neither, you are bidding on whatever happens to reach you.
Construction and civils
Roadworks, groundworks, sewer renewal, building maintenance. The highest volume category in European procurement, and the one where wording varies most between buyers.
Trades and installers
Electrical, HVAC, roofing, joinery. Often named inside a larger works notice rather than in its title, which is exactly what keyword alerts miss.
Services and facilities
Cleaning, catering, grounds maintenance, security. Long framework contracts, frequently retendered, and rarely advertised anywhere you would think to look.
IT and professional services
Software, support, consultancy, engineering. Public buyers write these notices in their own vocabulary, which is seldom the vocabulary of the firms who could deliver them.
TED carries every EU country above the procurement threshold. The German and Dutch national portals add what sits below it, which is where most of the work a smaller company can win is advertised.
What people do instead
Checking the portals yourself
Free, and it works while somebody has the time. The problem is that it stops the week things get busy, which is also the week a notice you wanted came and went.
Keyword alerts
They only find notices worded the way you guessed. Across twenty languages and thousands of buyers, that is a narrow net, and you never see what it did not catch.
A tender agency
Thorough, and priced for companies with a bid budget. Usually several hundred euros a month before anyone has written a word of a submission.
Vunna sits between the last two: a real read of every notice, at the price of a keyword tool.
Free to start. EUR 29 when you want the national portals.

Before you sign up
Do you cover my country?
TED covers every EU member state, so if a contract is above the EU threshold, it is in your feed wherever it is published. Below the threshold we currently read the German and Dutch national portals, with more being added.
We are a small firm. Is public work realistic for us?
Most contracts below the EU threshold are sized for exactly that, and many are awarded to companies with fewer than twenty staff. The barrier is usually finding them in time rather than being able to deliver them.
Do I have to read the notices in their original language?
The notice stays in the language the buyer published it in, because that is the document you would bid against. The reason each one matched is written in your language.
How much work is this to set up?
A few minutes once. Two questions about what you deliver, and the first matches are scored within the hour. There is nothing to maintain afterwards.
