Introduction
What is EC Tenders?
New European Business Opportunities at your Fingertips
EC Tenders is a service licensed by the European Union to promote contract opportunities issued by public authorities from throughout the 27 Member States of the EU to suppliers. This amounts to approximately 650 new contract notices published in EC Tenders every working day – each one representing a new business opportunity to some company. Through your subscription, that company could be yours.
Included in EC Tenders are all EU public open contracts that exceed specific contract values and are announced in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU). The contract value thresholds above which such contracts must be published are laid down in EU Directives and can be as low as £100,000 €148,000
Subscribers to EC Tenders have access to these announcements as soon as they are issued through two specialist leading-edge services:
EC Tenders Alert
The Alert service delivers to you via email EU contract opportunities of specific interest to your company. You select which contracts you receive by creating a unique profile containing keywords and phrases related to your business.
Once a profile is created, matching contract opportunities will be forwarded by email every working day. This profile can be amended and refined by you at any time and at no additional cost.
EC Tenders alerts also include information on contract awards, allowing you to monitor competitor activity.
EC Tenders Online
In support of the Alert service, the EC Tenders Online service at www.ectenders.com gives subscribers 24/7 access to all EC Tenders contracts – not just those matching your company’s profile. You can search contract notices through the Online service using keywords or by issuing authority name, reference number, product type/code, country or geographical location. The Online service provides access to additional information and resources, such as a dedicated procurement opportunities news-stream and access to key supplier guidances, plus links to valuable related resources.
Through www.ectenders.com subscribers can also amend and manage their profiles and subscribe to additional value-added-services such as the EC Tenders weekly CD-ROM and Archive services.
What EC Tenders can do for your company
EC Tenders provides you with that all-important market intelligence that identifies not potential new business opportunities but actual new business opportunities, 52 weeks a year, at a fraction of the cost of having a dedicated salesperson.
Without leaving your office you receive detailed information that allows you to tender for actual requirements. Thousands of contract opportunities that can be worth £100,000s if not £millions are published every week.
Searching through hundreds of new contract opportunities daily, EC Tenders saves you valuable time and helps ensure your company doesn't miss out on these potentially valuable new business opportunities.
EC Tenders also provides you with comprehensive support services and, through additional services such as the Archive and CD-ROM, you can not only carry out detailed research into past contract opportunities but also build your own library of contract information.
As an EC Tenders subscriber you also have access to a dedicated customer-focused support team available online and by telephone every working day to help ensure you get the best out of the service.
Other available added-value EC Tenders services
For the first year of your subscription, you will receive EC Tenders Market Monitor (normal price £290) and Translator (normal price £195 (€289) plus VAT) absolutely FREE. That is a total saving of £485 (€718) plus VAT.
Market Monitor delivers vital market intelligence and industry news direct to your desktop, every working day. You can select the type of articles you want to receive by creating a unique profile containing keywords and phrases.
Translator – if English is not your first language and you have some difficulties dealing with the full requirements of European contracts then why not make things easier and let our online translator do the hard work for you. The translator facility allows two-way translation between English and: French, Geman, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch and Russian.
Subscribers can also apply for Alert emails to be sent to additional email addresses and create more than one profile for their organisation. This helps suppliers whose company has different departments offering different products or services to receive information direct rather than waiting for information to be filtered throughout the company.
