Live UK public-contract alerts · built for small trade firms

Small building firms: councils publish work like yours every week

Refurbs, roofing, heating, electrical, groundworks and maintenance — councils, schools, housing associations and NHS trusts must advertise this work, and right now 40 contracts are open on our construction board alone. Most small firms never see them: the official portals bury small jobs in procurement-speak. BidCrier watches the feeds daily and pings you the ones that fit your trade and your area, in plain English. Cleaning and security firms: your boards are live too.

Fair questions

Can't I get alerts free from the government?

Yes — and you should try them. Contracts Finder sends keyword alerts, but they match on raw text across every industry, so a cleaning firm gets "clean energy" consultations and a security firm gets IT security tenders. We filter by trade category and size, translate the notice, and remind you before deadlines. If the free alerts work for you, keep them.

Is this data real?

Every tender on this site comes from the government's official Contracts Finder feed, updated daily, with a link to the official notice. We never invent listings. If a board looks quiet, that's the truth of the market this week — and exactly why alerts beat checking manually.

Who is behind BidCrier?

A small independent UK operation. No sales calls, no auto-renew traps, no £5,000-a-year invoices — the things people hate about the big tender platforms are the reason this exists.

What happens after I join the waitlist?

You get the free weekly round-up for your trade straight away (launching within days), and first access to daily alerts at half price when they go live.
