In short
With TenderRender you search the Netherlands (TenderNed), Belgium (BOSA e-Procurement) and Germany (öffentlicheVergabe) from one screen, with as many saved search profiles per country as you need. Every tender found gets an AI match score from one to five with an explanation, new matches arrive by email every morning at around 07:00, and under Predict you see contracts that expire within 6, 12 or 24 months. You submit the bid yourself on the contracting authority's platform.
Updated on 19 October 2026. This article describes how search works in TenderRender and is published by TenderRender. The comparison with other tools at the end is based on their own websites (see Sources).
For many companies the search for public contracts stops at the border. Not because there is nothing to win abroad, but because every country has its own platform, publication language and regions. Bidding in three countries quickly means keeping up three ways of working. In TenderRender it is one: you pick a country per search profile, and the filters, the match score and the email work the same everywhere.
Per country: source, filters and history
| Area | Netherlands | Belgium | Germany |
|---|---|---|---|
| Search source | TenderNed | BOSA e-Procurement (publicprocurement.be) | öffentlicheVergabe (oeffentlichevergabe.de), the central notice service |
| Region filter | Province | Province | Federal state |
| Keywords | Dutch | In the language of the notice, often Dutch or French | German |
| CPV codes | Broad main codes, sub-codes included automatically | Same | Same |
| Publication types | Planning notice and competition notice | Same | Same |
| Tender history | TED and TenderNed | TED and publicprocurement.be | TED and oeffentlichevergabe.de |
| Submission | Yourself, via TenderNed or the buyer's platform | Yourself, via e-Procurement or the buyer's platform | Yourself, via the contracting authority's e-procurement platform |
CPV codes work the same across borders. Keywords match the notice text literally, so choose them in the language the country publishes in. How procurement works in each country, with the law, thresholds and platforms, is in the country guides for the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.
How to set up a search profile
- Choose the country. Click Search in the sidebar and pick a country under Country. The region filters adapt: provinces in the Netherlands and Belgium, federal states in Germany.
- Let TenderRender build a profile from your website, or start yourself. Click New search, enter your website and choose Scan website. TenderRender then proposes broad CPV main codes and an AI match description. Always check them. To set everything yourself, choose Start manually.
- Pick CPV codes, keywords or both. With broad CPV main codes, TenderRender includes all sub-codes. Keywords help when suitable contracts are spread across many CPV groups. If you pick both, a notice is found when it falls under a chosen code or contains a keyword.
- Describe in plain language what fits. Under AI match, write what you do, where you do and do not want to work and what you exclude, for example "only in North Holland" or "not interested in X, but in Y". This drives the match score.
- Choose publication type and period. Planning notice shows early signals; add Competition notice for live tenders. When you create a search, the chosen Period may return at most 1,500 projects; if there are more, shorten the period or narrow the profile.
- Click Search. For each result you see the match, the buyer, the deadline and a link to the original source.
Several search profiles per country
Each saved search is a tab above the results. That keeps markets, services or regions apart, also within one country: for example "Cleaning Randstad" and "Window cleaning Flanders" next to "Gebäudereinigung NRW". You duplicate a profile from the three-dot menu with Duplicate, and with Assign team members you decide who has access and receives the daily email. New searches are linked to all active team members by default.
Use a new profile for a genuinely different market segment. For small changes to codes, keywords or description, edit the existing profile so the name and team access stay.
The match score and the daily email
Every tender gets one to five dots. Hover over the score or open the tender to read why the AI thinks it does or does not fit your profile. If the same wrong arguments keep appearing, sharpen the AI match description. With thumbs up or down your team marks what has been assessed; the team shares that per search profile.
New matching notices arrive every morning at around 07:00: up to 15 per search profile and 30 in total, with a link to the full list. Under Search email settings you choose the Minimum relevance level for the email. Results refresh several times a day.
Looking ahead: forecasts and history
Under Predict you choose CPV codes and a period and see contracts that are expiring and may be tendered again, often with the current contractor and buyer. The data goes back to 2016. A forecast is a market signal, not a published notice; once an opportunity becomes concrete, you create a project.
When you open a tender as a project, the Tender history card shows earlier notices, awards and winners from the same buyer, from TED and the national platforms. A winner is only shown when official procurement data names that supplier.
What search does not cover
- Unpublished restricted procedures are not published anywhere, so no system can find them. If you receive one, create a project yourself and upload the documents.
- Other countries. Automatic search and alerts cover the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. You upload a tender from another country yourself; analysis, writing and review then work the same way.
- Submission. TenderRender does not submit anything; you do that on the contracting authority's platform.
- Completeness. Even within the three countries we do not promise full market coverage. Always check an interesting result at the original source, because details and deadlines can change.
From notice to submitted bid
Once you pick a tender, TenderRender analyses the documents with a source for every requirement, suggests clarification questions and drafts from your own earlier bids. Forms such as the ESPD are filled in with facts TenderRender can check in your documents; anything it cannot support stays open on a checklist. Reviewing and submitting stay with your own team.
