When most small business owners hear "government contracts", they imagine multi-million pound infrastructure projects or national NHS frameworks that take a 40-page bid and six months to win.
The reality is very different. The UK public sector is vast, and every day, local councils, schools, and hospitals are looking for local trades and SMEs to fulfill everyday contracts.
At Tender Sniper, we intentionally ignore the giant enterprise contracts. Our platform is exclusively designed for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
Our system aggressively filters out contracts over £2,000,000, as well as complex national frameworks that require massive consortiums. This leaves us with the "SME sweet spot". Examples of contracts we find daily include:
By law, public sector bodies are only required to publish contracts publicly when they exceed certain financial thresholds. Generally, the publication threshold is £30,000 across the wider public sector (such as local authorities, schools, and NHS trusts).

While some local authorities voluntarily publish contracts as small as £10,000 (which we will catch), the vast majority of opportunities you will receive from us will be worth at least £25,000.
