Architecture tender alerts, every morning
Tender alerts for architects and engineers: TenderDesk reads TED (the EU's Tenders Electronic Daily), BOAMP (France), BASE (Portugal), TenderNed (Netherlands), simap.ch (Switzerland) and Find a Tender (United Kingdom) four times a day, scores each notice for how much real design work it contains, and emails you the new architecture tenders and design competitions that match your alert, by country, building type, budget and floor area. Try it free for 7 days.
What a TenderDesk alert does
Filters that mean something to an architect
Country, building type, project type, competition or tender, budget band, floor area in m², deadline, keywords. Not CPV codes.
A quality floor you choose
Every notice is scored from 0 to 100 for real design content. Set the alert to 70 and roads, maintenance and supervision contracts never reach your inbox.
Notifications and a morning email
Matches appear on the platform as they are published and in one email every morning, in your language. A Monday digest sums up the week.
Deadline reminders
Follow a tender and TenderDesk reminds you before the questions deadline and before submission, so no window is missed.
Alerts people set most
A Paris practice: competitions only, France and Belgium, score above 70. A Lisbon studio: schools and housing in Portugal and Spain, any procedure, budget above €2 million. A London office looking abroad: museums, universities and hospitals in the Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland, with a floor area above 5,000 m². A landscape practice: urban design and public space across every country we cover. Each takes a minute to set up, and the count of open matches shows at once whether it is too wide or too narrow.
The country pages and the project-type pages show what is open today in each area before you decide what to follow; the live statistics show where the volume is.
When a match is worth bidding on
The alert is the start. On a paid plan, the AI brief tells you in plain language what the authority wants, who can bid and what to check before committing; the workspace lets you find the partners the tender asks for and run the submission in one place (bid management for architecture firms). The guides cover go/no-go, the technical offer and fee proposals.

- Are TenderDesk's tender alerts free?
- Alerts are part of every TenderDesk plan, with the scored feed, saved searches, the company page, partner search and your own RFP workspaces. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial, so you can set your alerts and see a week of morning emails before paying anything.
- What can an alert filter on?
- Country, building type (hospital, school, museum, housing, offices…), project type, procedure, whether it is a design competition, estimated budget, floor area in m², deadline and free keywords. Each alert shows how many open tenders match it before you save it.
- How fast does the alert arrive?
- TenderDesk reads TED and the national portals four times a day. A new match appears in your notifications on the platform in the same run and is included in the next morning's email. There is also a Monday digest and deadline reminders for the tenders you follow.
- Which countries and sources are covered?
- Every EU and EEA country that publishes on TED, plus the United Kingdom and Switzerland (more than 30 countries), read from TED (the EU's Tenders Electronic Daily), BOAMP (France), BASE (Portugal), TenderNed (Netherlands), simap.ch (Switzerland) and Find a Tender (United Kingdom), plus the regional portals those countries use below the EU thresholds.
- How is this different from TED's own email alerts?
- TED alerts match on CPV codes and words, so an alert for 'architectural services' also brings road supervision, surveys and maintenance. TenderDesk scores every notice from 0 to 100 for how much real design work it contains and lets the alert start at the score you choose, so the morning email is a short list of genuine commissions rather than a long list to sort through.
