A head start on local work

The next job isn’t always
on a tender portal.

By the time a project is advertised, a lot has already happened. Before Tender helps you see what’s coming and decide where to act.

Will you say if an architect is already appointed?

Yes, when known. Project stage and existing appointments help you decide whether an opportunity is relevant to your practice.

01 / Discover

Find work you might miss.

Upcoming projects from councils, churches, schools and community organisations. Opportunities beyond the listings you already use.

02 / Understand

Get the useful detail.

What’s needed, money available, project stage, likely buying route and who to contact. What’s unconfirmed is clearly marked.

03 / Act

Make your next move.

One weekly email for your trade and patch. If a quote deadline falls before the next round-up, you hear sooner.

Inside your weekly email

A lead you can
do something with.

Not a list of project names to make sense of. Each opportunity gives you the detail to decide whether it’s right for you.

The money and the stage
An estimate, an allocated budget or a wider fund? We make the difference clear.
The way in
How the work may be bought, relevant contacts where known and any date you need to act by.
What’s still uncertain
If a deadline or detail isn’t confirmed, the lead says so. Supporting evidence comes with your leads.
Your existing relationships, marked
Councils and churches you already work with are identified, so you can see the ones you don’t.

Straight answers

A few things
you might ask.

Something else on your mind?
hello@beforetender.co.uk

Is this another tender listing service?

Before Tender focuses on early local opportunities, including work that may never appear on a tender portal. Where a project will be advertised, we say so.

How early is early?

It varies. Every lead shows how far along it is (discussed, money set aside or collecting quotes), so you can judge when to act.

We already know our local councils.

Tell us which councils and churches you already work with. They are marked in your weekly email, so you can spot new relationships and keep an eye on existing ones.

How reliable are the leads?

We show what is known, the evidence behind it and what still needs confirming. Early plans can change.

How much does it cost?

A monthly fee for your area, with no long-term commitment. See your free sample first, then we can discuss the right coverage and price for your business.

What happens after I ask for a sample?

We match opportunities to your trade and area and email them within one working day. There is no card required and no obligation to subscribe.

Can you help with quotes and tenders?

Tell us what you need when you get in touch. We are exploring support with quotes and tenders alongside the lead service.
