Tenders catalogue
Browse public tenders, save filters, and get AI-matched opportunities based on your company profile.
The Tenders section helps you discover procurement opportunities. It pulls live data from Latvian, Spanish, German, and EU-wide procurement portals, lets you filter and save searches, and - once you set up your company profile - automatically matches relevant tenders to your services.
Browsing tenders
The All tenders tab shows active opportunities by default: tenders where suppliers can normally still decide whether to submit a bid. You'll see stats at the top showing how many tenders were published this month, this week, and today.
Each tender card shows:
- Title and procuring organisation
- CPV code (industry classification)
- Estimated value (when available)
- Published date and submission deadline
- Notice type
Click any tender to see its full details, including lots, evaluation criteria, and a link to the original source.
Tender status
Different procurement portals use different words and codes for the same tender stages. MitigateTenders keeps the original notice type from the source, but also groups every tender into a simple status so the catalogue is easier to use:
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Open for bids | Suppliers can still participate or review the opportunity for submission. This is the default catalogue and matching view. |
| Planned | Early information about a future procurement. The tender may not be ready for bids yet. |
| Awarded | The procedure has a result or award notice. These notices are useful for market research, but they are not new bidding opportunities. |
| Closed or in execution | The procedure or contract is no longer open for new bids. |
| Cancelled | The procedure was cancelled, withdrawn, or interrupted. |
| Not classified | The source sent a notice type we do not yet map confidently. We keep it visible when you filter by notice type. |
When suppliers can no longer participate in a tender, the tender detail page shows a notice so you know it is mainly useful for context, history, or market research.
Filtering
With thousands of tenders published every month, filters help you focus on what matters. Click + Add filter to narrow by:
- Industry / CPV code - filter by procurement category (e.g., IT services, construction)
- Country - show tenders from a specific country. The dropdown lists only countries that currently have at least one tender in the catalogue.
- Notice type - filter by the procurement stage or business event, such as open opportunities, awards, modifications, planned procurement, or cancellations. Selecting a notice type can show notices that are hidden from the default active-opportunities view.
- Procedure type - open, restricted, negotiated
- Search text - free text search across tender titles and descriptions
Active filters appear as chips that you can remove individually or clear all at once.
The old Region filter has been removed. Use Country for geographic filtering; individual tender pages can still show source-provided region details when they are available.
Notice type categories use business-friendly labels:
| Category | Use it when you want to find |
|---|---|
| Open for bids | Active opportunities where suppliers can still submit bids. |
| Contract awarded | Award or result notices showing who won or how the procedure ended. |
| Contract modification | Changes to an existing contract after award. |
| Planned procurement | Upcoming or planned procurement before the full tender notice is published. |
| Concluded contract notice | Notices confirming that a contract has been concluded. |
| Preliminary market consultation | Early consultation notices used to gather market input before a procurement. |
| Prior information notice | Advance information about planned procurement activity. |
| Prior information (shortened timeframe) | Prior information notices that can shorten a later tender deadline. |
| Cancelled | Procedures that have been cancelled or withdrawn. |
| Voluntary ex-ante transparency | Notices published before a direct award or similar decision becomes final. |
| Contract in execution | Notices about a contract that is already being executed. |
Saved filters
When you've built a useful filter combination, click Save filter to keep it. Give it a name like "IT tenders Latvia" or "Construction > 50K". Saved filters appear in the Saved filters dropdown and persist across sessions.
Example workflow:
- Add Country: Latvia, Industry / CPV code: 72, and Notice type: Open for bids.
- Click Save filter, name it "Latvia IT opportunities", and submit the form.
- Use the Saved filters dropdown to return to the same filter set later.
- To delete a preset, open Saved filters and use the delete button beside that preset.
This is especially useful if you monitor several market segments regularly.
Matched for you
This feature requires setting up your company profile in the Tenders settings.
The Matched for you tab shows open tenders where suppliers can still participate and that our AI has identified as relevant to your organisation. Award, result, cancellation, and execution notices are kept out of matching because there is normally no bid left to submit. Each matched tender gets a confidence score (0-100%) based on how well it matches your services.
You can filter matches by:
- Confidence tier - Top (90+), Mid (75-89), Low (under 75)
- Time period - last 30 days, 7 days, or 24 hours
- Service - see matches for a specific service
Each matched tender shows per-service confidence scores, so you can see exactly which of your services matched and why.
Setting up matching
Go to the Tenders section and click the Settings gear icon in the tab bar.
Fill in your company details: registration number, region, and CPV preferences. CPV preferences narrow down which tender categories are considered - click Browse CPV codes to select from the hierarchical tree.
Add your services and products. Describe what your organisation offers - each service gets scored against every tender. Be specific: "Custom web application development using React and Ruby on Rails" matches better than just "Software development".
Click Activate tender matching. Initial results appear within a few hours as the system processes recent tenders against your profile.
After activation, new tenders are matched automatically every day. You can update your services and CPV preferences at any time from the Settings page.
How matching works
The matching system uses AI to evaluate each tender against your services:
- When new open tenders are published, the system summarises each one
- Your services are compared against the summary
- Each service receives a confidence score (0-100%)
- The overall tender score is the highest individual service score
- Reasoning is provided for each score, explaining why it matched or didn't
Higher confidence means the tender explicitly requests what you offer. Lower scores indicate tangential relevance.
