Common questions.

Which UK portals do you cover?: Contracts Finder, Find a Tender (FTS), Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales, and eTendersNI, plus selected NHS and local authority publications.
How is the fit score calculated?: A weighted comparison of your profile — sector codes, value band, geography, certifications, and prior activity — against the notice metadata.
Do you charge commission on non-TenderCircle bids?: No. Success fees apply only when the awarded contract was matched, prepared, or submitted through the platform.
Is TenderCircle affiliated with the UK government?: No. TenderCircle is an independent service. All notices are sourced from public records.
