Contract Finder Pro

The service is operated by active UK company J4L Group Limited (company 11012403), incorporated on 13 October 2017. Its legal terms identify both the Contract Finder Pro database and Tender Ninja AI service, although the displayed last-updated date of 4 November 2021 is older than several current product modules.

Core targets organisations monitoring UK and Ireland public-sector tenders; Professional and Enterprise add intelligence, team licences and support. Analytics targets market research and forward-pipeline use, while Tender Ninja targets teams preparing evidence-grounded public-sector bid responses.

Core annual prices are Basic £690, Professional £990 and Enterprise from £1,960, all plus VAT; Analytics and Tender Ninja are separately priced by quote. The trial is 14 days with full Core access, and the registration flow says card details are required and billing starts unless cancelled; current numeric month-to-month prices are not publicly visible.

The site displays Cyber Essentials and the privacy policy covers network security and hosted administration; Professional adds a dedicated account manager and Enterprise adds training, a Customer Success Manager, SLA and priority support. Public legal pages do not disclose current subprocessors, hosting region, encryption specifics, MFA/SSO, backup and recovery objectives, AI-provider retention, a DPA or status history; baseline terms disclaim fixed support response or resolution times.

Current pages explicitly name Find a Tender and describe monitoring more than 200 UK and Ireland local-authority and sector-specific portals; the beta search site also names Contracts Finder. No complete source inventory, Ireland split, portal-health register or portal-by-portal acquisition method is published.

Core says it monitors portals automatically around the clock, sends a digest at 08:45 and issues flash alerts for urgent notices. The reviewed pages do not state per-source poll rates, real-time latency targets, attachment ingestion, change-notice handling, duplicate suppression, backfills or a public availability/status history.

Core matching is explicitly configured with keywords, CPV codes, value and region, with daily and urgent email delivery. Analytics supports natural-language query over the corpus, but the reviewed pages do not establish semantic or company-profile-based automatic relevance scoring for alerts.

Core advertises more than two million live and historical records, an award-history database, weekly award emails, competitor wins, buyer behaviour and framework participation. Analytics adds contract lifecycle, supplier-buyer relationships and queryable market dashboards, although another live page claims a materially larger five-million-record corpus.

Core and Analytics provide structured buyer behaviour, spending, tender volumes, procurement methods, current winners, contacts and supplier relationships across notices. Public pages do not explain buyer identifiers, aliases, canonicalisation, deduplication, mergers or other entity-resolution controls, so these are structured pages rather than verified canonical buyer entities.

Supplier dashboards aggregate award history, growth, buyer relationships, framework activity, competing categories and Companies House context. The provider does not publish how notice names are matched to companies, aliases and group structures, or how duplicates and unresolved suppliers are handled.

Analytics includes an upcoming-renewals view and Core tracks framework and DPS timelines, creating a useful forward pipeline. The public pages do not distinguish source-published end dates, calculated expiry windows, options/extensions, predicted re-tender dates and confirmed future notices or state forecast accuracy.

Tender Ninja extracts questions, structures storyboards, grounds answers in a knowledge base, traces sources and scores responses against estimated or custom criteria. It identifies weak content, but public pages do not establish a durable pre-bid readiness workflow with requirement gaps, evidence requests, owners, actions, deadlines and completion states.

Tender Ninja supports document upload, team work on storyboards and responses, knowledge-base drafting, source tracing, scoring and full-bid export. Enterprise Core promises custom integrations; however, no standard tender-data CSV/API format or named CRM is public, and the boundary between Core, Analytics and Tender Ninja requires a quote.
