Everything you need to know about Tendly

About Tendly

tendly.eu is a web platform designed to help SMEs and professionals participate in both local and central government public tenders across Europe. We simplify the tender discovery and participation process, making it more accessible for everyone.

Our platform is designed for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), independent professionals, consultants, and any business looking to participate in public tenders regardless of their experience level.

We are currently keeping the service free as we are on a public mission to make participation in public tenders more accessible for everyone. Our goal is to remove bureaucratic barriers that prevent SMEs from accessing government contract opportunities.

Tendly AI Bid Writer is an experimental new feature where artificial intelligence automatically fills out most of the bid forms for you. While you'll still need to review and confirm the information, we expect most users will reduce their bid writing time by 80-90%.

Tender Discovery

We aggregate tender data from thousands of government portals across Europe, including TED (Tenders Electronic Daily), national procurement portals, and local government websites. Our AI-powered system continuously monitors these sources to bring you the most relevant opportunities.

We cover all types of public tenders including open tenders, restricted tenders, framework agreements, dynamic purchasing systems (DPS), and direct awards from both local and central government bodies.
