IT public tender watch, built for IT services companies
Every day, StaffKit collects public IT tenders published in the BOAMP and the Official Journal of the European Union, filters out what doesn't concern you and takes you to the tender documents. You only read the notices where an IT services company has a real chance.

Why tender watch takes so much time
Scattered notices
French tenders are published in the BOAMP, the largest ones also in the OJEU, and the documents are then downloaded from each buyer's platform: PLACE, achatpublic, Maximilien, Mégalis, marches-securises...
A lot of noise
An "IT" search returns purchases of PCs, printers, licences or cabling. You have to open everything to find real service contracts.
Hard-to-find tender documents
The notice often links to a platform's home page, not to the tender itself. Finding the right file wastes precious minutes, notice after notice.
How StaffKit watches tenders for you
Collection twice a day from official sources
At noon and 6 pm (Paris time), StaffKit queries the BOAMP open data, the official TED API and the Find a Tender API, the official UK tender portal. It collects contract notices that are still open and recent prior information notices, which announce upcoming tenders.
First sorting by CPV codes and keywords
Each notice is classified by its CPV codes (the European procurement vocabulary: 72 for IT services, 48 for software, management consulting, IT training) and by the words in its title. Hardware-only purchases are filtered out.
A relevance score from AI
AI reads the title and description of each remaining notice and scores it for an IT services business. Licence-only deals and supplies are removed, and you see the best opportunities first.
The link to the tender documents
StaffKit shows the link to the tender documents given in the notice. If it only leads to the platform's home page, AI looks for the exact tender page on the buyer's platform.
Which tenders are covered
The watch is tuned for digital services, the contracts an IT services company can actually win:
France, through the BOAMP
France's official public procurement bulletin: tenders from the State, local authorities, hospitals and public bodies.
France, Belgium, Luxembourg and Ireland, through TED
The Official Journal of the European Union: European tenders performed in these three countries.
United Kingdom, through Find a Tender
Since Brexit, UK tenders are no longer published on TED. StaffKit collects them from Find a Tender, the official government portal, with values in pounds sterling.
What the watch does not cover
Some small contracts, awarded under the simplified procedure (MAPA), are only published on the buyer's website, without going through the BOAMP or TED. StaffKit does not see them: if you target specific buyers, keep their alerts too. The bid itself (technical proposal, submission) is still up to you; StaffKit helps you get there faster with branded CVs and Fast Prez.
Frequently asked questions about public tender watch
What is the BOAMP?
The BOAMP (Bulletin officiel des annonces des marchés publics) is the bulletin where the French State, local authorities and public bodies publish their tenders. It is published by the DILA and its data is open, which lets StaffKit read it every day.
What is TED?
TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) is the online version of the supplement to the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU). Public contracts above the European thresholds are published there. StaffKit keeps those performed in France, Belgium, Luxembourg and Ireland.
What is a CPV code?
The CPV code (Common Procurement Vocabulary) is the European classification of what a public contract is about. IT services start with 72, software with 48. StaffKit uses it for a first sort, then AI refines it based on the notice text.
What is the DCE?
The DCE (dossier de consultation des entreprises) contains everything needed to bid: rules of the tender, specifications, price schedules. It is downloaded from the buyer's platform. StaffKit gives you the link to go straight there.
How often are notices updated?
Collection runs twice a day, at noon and 6 pm (Paris time). New notices are flagged, and those whose deadline is approaching are highlighted.
How much does StaffKit's tender watch cost?
It is included in the StaffKit subscription at €5 per month per user, along with all the other tools. It is available from the 7-day free trial, no credit card required.
What about UK and Irish tenders?
Ireland is in the European Union: its IT tenders come through TED, like those of France. The United Kingdom has published its tenders on Find a Tender since Brexit: StaffKit collects them too, twice a day. Notices are in English, summarised by the AI, and UK values are shown in pounds sterling.
