# TenderNation vs Supply2Gov: a Supply2Gov alternative for SMEs

Supply2Gov gives you free tender alerts for one local area and paid plans by country. Here's how it compares with TenderNation on price, terms, coverage and bid help.

Updated 14 Oct 2026

Supply2Gov is a UK tender alert service run by BiP Solutions, the group that also owns Tracker Intelligence. It's aimed at small businesses: you pick a local area and some keywords, and it emails you matching contracts. If you're weighing it up against TenderNation, this page sets out the differences as fairly as we can, including the places where Supply2Gov does better.

> **Pricing note:** prices below were checked in **October 2026** (on 14 October) on each company's own website. Supply2Gov's terms say its advertised prices exclude VAT. Prices and plans change, so check the vendor's site before you buy.

## The short answer

Supply2Gov is a good fit if you only bid near home and want free email alerts for one local area, or want Welsh and Northern Irish notices. TenderNation suits you better if you want to search every tender we hold for free and get help deciding which ones to bid for and writing the bid.

## Pricing (as of October 2026)

[Supply2Gov](https://www.supply2govtenders.co.uk/pricing/)[TenderNation](/pricing)**Free plan**Local Area, free: one local area you choose by postcode, keyword alerts every weekdayFree: unlimited search of every tender we hold, 1 saved-search alert, fit score on every tender**Paid plans**Country: £25/month or £270/year. UK: £80/month or £499/year. UK & Ireland: £95/month or £899/yearProfessional: £49/month or £490/year. Business: £149/month or £1,490/year**More than one country**Add countries to a Country plan at 30% to 45% offOne plan covers all our sources**Users**One named user per subscription (per its terms)1 on Professional, 5 on Business**Billing**Monthly, six-monthly or yearlyMonthly or yearly**Free trial**Free plan14-day free trial of Professional, no card neededFor bid consultants, the Consultant plan is £249/month or £2,490/year: everything in Business plus up to 10 client workspaces, each with its own business profile, pipeline, bid library and alerts.

On yearly billing, Supply2Gov's UK plan (£499) and TenderNation Professional (£490) cost about the same, before any VAT difference. They buy different things. Supply2Gov's money goes on wider alert coverage. TenderNation's goes on AI qualification and bid writing, and our search is free on every plan anyway.

These come from Supply2Gov's [terms and conditions](https://www.supply2govtenders.co.uk/terms-and-conditions/) as published on 14 October 2026. They're the points we'd want to know before signing up to any alert service, ours included. Its terms also say a promotional discount lasts for the current period only, and renewal is at full list price.

## Where Supply2Gov is strong

- **Free local alerts.** If you only work within reach of your postcode, the free Local Area plan may be all you need, and it costs nothing.
- **Wales, Northern Ireland and Ireland.** Its country plans cover areas TenderNation doesn't fully cover yet.
- **Supply chain opportunities.** Free access to CompeteFor notices, which we don't carry.
- **People to ask.** A helpdesk and procurement specialists, which helps if public sector bidding is new to you.
- **Low entry price.** £25/month for a single country is cheaper than any paid TenderNation plan.

## Where TenderNation is different

- **Search is never paywalled.** Every plan, including Free, searches all our sources. Paying buys more alerts, more AI and the bid-writing tools.
- **Help deciding.** A fit score, bid/no-bid call, eligibility check and buyer track record on every tender, free.
- **Help writing.** Ask questions of the tender pack and get answers cited to the page. Draft answers from your own bid library, with gaps marked instead of evidence invented.
- **Early signals on Business.** Pre-market notices, re-tender forecasts and incumbent-at-risk alerts, with a weekly email.

## Who should pick which?

**Supply2Gov** suits a micro-business that bids locally, wants free weekday alerts for its area, needs Welsh, Northern Irish or Irish notices, or would value a person to call.

**TenderNation** suits an SME that bids regularly across England and Scotland and wants to spend less time reading notices and more time writing good bids.

**Neither, yet?** Find a Tender and Contracts Finder are free government services, and our [guide to Contracts Finder vs Find a Tender](/guides/contracts-finder-vs-find-a-tender) explains which covers what.
