For companies that bid on public and private tenders
Reach prospects the moment they start looking for a supplier.Reach prospects the moment they start looking for a supplier.
Expiring contracts, new decision-makers, competitors moving in on an account: Next Contract spots public and private RFPs as they take shape. You reach out at the right time, while the requirement is still open.
A public contract has an end date, and it's published. A company about to issue an RFP leaves traces too: a new decision-maker, a procurement lead hired, competing sales reps getting closer to its decision-makers. Next Contract reads these signals.

Next Contract spots interactions between your competitors' sales reps and companies' decision-makers. When they pile up at the same company, an RFP or tender is often being prepared.
Sales reps from several competitors get closer to the same decision-makers.
These interactions cluster in the same period.
One level per company and per month: low, medium or high.
Next Contract is B2B software that spots public and private tenders (RFPs) before they launch, so companies can reach prospects the moment they start looking for a supplier. It combines three sources: public contract renewals (estimated date, previous value, incumbent), company buying signals (new decision-maker, procurement hire, announced RFP) and competitor activity on the same account. It is built for any company that bids on tenders: agencies, IT firms, consultancies, engineering firms, printers, facility management providers, integrators. Next Contract is in pre-launch; the waitlist is open.
Where does the data come from?
Public side: procurement notices. France: BOAMP and the national public procurement open data. Europe: TED. United States: SAM.gov and USAspending. Canada: CanadaBuys. Private side: supplier and tender pages published by companies, trade press, public job postings and announced appointments. Every opportunity shows its source.
How reliable are the predictions?
For a public contract, the date is calculated from published facts: the award date and the contract term, extension options included. When a field is missing, it is shown as a range. For a private tender, Next Contract doesn't compute an exact date: it flags a dated fact (an appointment, a hire, an announced RFP) and explains why it points to an RFP. Either way it's an estimate, and the source is shown so you can check.
Which countries are covered?
Public contracts: France, the European Union, the United States and Canada, from each one's official sources. Private tenders: the companies you target. The interface is available in English and French.
How is this different from a tender alert service?
A tender alert tells you about a public tender the day it's published. It can't see private RFPs, which go to a handful of chosen suppliers. Next Contract spots both before they launch, so you're one of the suppliers they ask.
Is it legal to approach the decision-maker before the tender?
In the private sector, yes: nothing stops you meeting a company before it issues an RFP; that's how suppliers get on the invite list. In the public sector, yes too before the procurement starts: market research under FAR Part 10 in the US, preliminary market consultation under the EU directives, as long as competition is not distorted. Once the tender is published, all contact goes through the official procedure. Rules vary by country: check the ones that apply to you.
How much does Next Contract cost?
Pricing will be announced at launch. People on the waitlist will hear first.
