Use of Tender Direct
Tenders Direct is useful in identifying tender opportunities, but the broad nature of the keywording means that we get a lot of notifications that are of no interest to find the few that are.

Love the service
Love the service. I have a demo of an alternative service the other day which automatically translates all ojeu alerts into english. The service contained an algorithm which "learned" which opportunities from the alerts were commonly discarded, thereby slowly reducing the ojeu alerts that were not relevant coming through on the daily emails. Does TD have any similar plans to enhance the service?

Hi Gerry, thanks very much for the 5 star review, I'm delighted to hear how efficient you find the service - Vicki
Very informative and helpful
I found the training course very informative and helpful. This is the first course I have taken part in via teams and it was really successful. Jamie delivered the course in a very professional and friendly manner. The group sessions were very valuable and the use of the groups facility within zoom was also very good. I would certainly recommend this course to anyone who wants to gain understanding of how to respond informatively to questions relating to social values within the company.

Tenders Direct is one of those companies who hide behind their T&Cs. They can cancel with you at anytime but it is not reciprocal. Please ensure you read the T&C properly when signing up and make sure you cancel in time a year after having no benefit for the service.

Great friendly customer service. Tenders tend to come through 5 days after original listing but that has never caused us an issue. Fab service that they update all the time!
