What does the tender “Closing Date” mean, and why is it important?

The closing date and time is the strict deadline by which your bid documents must be submitted to the issuing organ of state. Bids submitted after this date and time are almost always disqualified regardless of the reason for the delay, so always plan to submit well before the deadline.

How often are new tenders added to the site?

New tenders, RFQs and awards are added continuously as they’re published by government departments, state entities, municipalities and other sources we monitor, so it’s worth checking back regularly or subscribing to notifications so you don’t miss deadlines. On business days, at least 200 – 300 are added every day.
