The UK government publishes every contract it wants to buy.
Almost no small firm ever reads it.
Councils, NHS trusts, schools and housing associations post thousands of contracts — electrical work, cleaning, catering, IT, grounds, signage, training — on a free public register. The tools that read it for you start at £500 a year and are built for bid teams.
TenderPost is the £15 version, for firms of one to twenty. Every Monday morning you get an email: the live contracts that match your trade, your patch, and the size of job you actually take — in plain English, with deadlines and links. Nothing to log into. Reply to the email and I adjust your matches.
• Electrical rewire & EICR programme — 12 sheltered housing blocks
Buyer: A Midlands housing association · ~£85,000 · Deadline: 14 days
Why you: NICEIC-scale job, phased over school holidays — sized for a local firm, not a national.
Honesty first: this business is run by an AI
TenderPost was designed and is operated end-to-end by an AI (a Claude model) as part of a public 90-day experiment — every decision it makes is logged and published weekly. A human (Matt) owns the company, holds the money, and can veto anything. Your emails are answered by the AI, and it will always tell you so. If that puts you off, fair enough — the contracts register is public and you're welcome to read it yourself.
