Open Opportunities is a global procurement-data and tender-alert business operated by Ticon UK Ltd, selling a web search/alert product and a separately priced data API. Its most defensible depth is transparent ingestion engineering: more than 900 source claims, twice-daily collection, public daily data-quality reports, document capture, notice deduplication and standards-led enrichment; its weaker areas are buyer/supplier identity, bid/requirements workflow and dated legal/security documentation.
Yes means the complete normalized capability is available in at least one current plan. Partial means the implementation is adjacent, incomplete or materially narrower. Missing public evidence defaults to not offered.
Intent Search uses Open Opportunities' own AI model to score and rank results across geographies, languages and currencies, and is described as assessing document meaning rather than only keyword occurrence.
Intent Search ↗AI for bid writers guide ↗Users can search or monitor buyer names and inspect past records, winners, values and buying patterns. The provider documents notice-level deduplication and field validation, but not buyer-entity resolution or structured cross-notice buyer profiles.
Sales strategy ↗Search user guide ↗Data quality reports ↗The contract database can be filtered by supplier name to find awards, but the reviewed pages do not establish deliberately built cross-notice supplier entities, identity resolution or structured supplier profile pages.
Search by supplier ↗Open Opportunities supports alerts for expiring contracts and competitor tracking; current pricing lists expiring contracts awarded in the last five years, and its data includes contract start/end dates.
Open Opportunities home ↗Open Opportunities pricing ↗Coverage and data fields ↗Open Opportunities' documented workflow tells users to manually search for similar contracts and review similar past tenders, buyer history and values. The reviewed pages do not establish an automatic related-contract panel surfaced against a notice or profile.
Sales strategy ↗The platform gathers notice attachments and planning notices, but the reviewed pages did not establish buyer strategies, minutes, budgets or other non-notice buyer-authored document collections.
Records and attachments expose source notice content, but the reviewed pages did not establish extracted or organised participation conditions, certifications, policies or evaluation criteria.
The provider publishes strategic planning guidance and offers planning notices, but the reviewed pages did not establish an in-product gap, readiness, evidence or requirements-planning workflow.
The platform includes historic tenders and contract awards, including supplier, buyer, value and award dates; users can search suppliers and inspect previous winners and prices.
Data feature breakdown ↗Search by supplier ↗Open Opportunities pricing ↗Open Opportunities says it tracks central-government frameworks, supports analysis of framework award terms and reopening windows, and includes framework records in its historical procurement data.
Data feature breakdown ↗SME Procurement Act guide ↗The product page advertises tracking of competitors, buyers and categories; users can alert on competitors and search awards by supplier to see who has won contracts.
Tender alert features ↗Open Opportunities home ↗Search by supplier ↗Team includes CSV downloads of up to 100 rows. A separately priced REST API returns structured JSON, documents and daily updates and supports CRM, dashboard and alert-routing integrations.
Open Opportunities pricing ↗Open Opportunities API ↗The Team plan includes unlimited users; provider guidance describes sharing opportunities and insights with colleagues and setting up team members. The API can route alerts to Teams or Slack.
Open Opportunities pricing ↗Sales strategy ↗Open Opportunities API ↗Open Opportunities publishes guidance about using AI for bid writing, but the reviewed product pages did not establish response drafting, an answer library, compliance matrix or managed writing as a platform feature.

Open Opportunities pricing ↗Companies House records Ticon UK Limited (04962733) as active, incorporated on 13 November 2003, with IT services, data processing/hosting and consultancy activities; 2025 accounts are filed as a micro company. Open Opportunities identifies Ticon UK Ltd as its legal entity and says the business began as a procurement consultancy, launched the global service in 2016 and relaunched OpenOpps.com in 2025.
Companies House: Ticon UK Limited ↗Open Opportunities about ↗Open Opportunities history ↗Solo and Team serve suppliers and business-development teams seeking global opportunity discovery, alerts, history and competitor/expiry research. The API tier targets developers, data teams, bid-automation products, dashboards and CRM/alert-routing integrations. The product is strongest for organisations that value geographic breadth and raw structured data rather than in-platform bid production.
Open Opportunities pricing ↗Open Opportunities API ↗Open Opportunities about ↗Current annual pricing is Solo at £1,440/€1,680/$1,920 for one user and Team at £3,108/€3,600/$4,104 for unlimited users; the API starts at £5,000/€5,800/$6,700 per year with high-volume terms agreed separately. Solo limits alerts, saved searches and history; Team expands all three and adds CSV, onboarding and unlimited users. A seven-day no-card trial and 30-day annual money-back guarantee are advertised; numeric monthly-billing prices are not exposed despite monthly billing being available.
Open Opportunities pricing ↗Open Opportunities subscription terms ↗Current support pages offer self-serve videos on Solo, onboarding and chat on Team, video calls, analyst help and SLA-backed enterprise response times; the trial is seven days without a card. However, the public privacy page still centres the Data Protection Act 1998, allows processing outside the EEA, warns that transmission security cannot be guaranteed and does not state encryption, hosting, access control, MFA, subprocessors, backups, incident response, certifications or data-retention periods. This is materially weaker diligence evidence than the data-engineering transparency.
Open Opportunities legal and privacy ↗Open Opportunities pricing ↗Open Opportunities support ↗The provider claims 900-plus government and public-sector sources across 180-plus countries, including federal, sub-national and low-value coverage, and publishes a directory of 100 named examples. It gathers tenders, contracts, prior/planning notices and documents, uses OCDS-aligned structured data, adds CPV categories, countries, languages, currencies and regional groups, and exposes provenance/source links. The public directory is illustrative rather than a complete 900-source inventory.
Open Opportunities sources ↗Open Opportunities coverage ↗Open Opportunities about ↗Open Opportunities pricing and enrichment ↗Release notes say tender and contract collection runs twice daily, overnight and mid-morning. A public daily quality audit checks source freshness and expected volume, matches and merges cross-portal duplicates, captures and indexes attachments, validates/back-fills buyer/value/deadline/CPV/country fields, and holds back or flags problematic records. Daily reports expose processed, held-back, flagged and document-update counts, but do not publish per-source service levels or independent audit assurance.
Open Opportunities data-quality reports ↗Twice-daily collection release note ↗Example daily quality report ↗Intent Search uses Open Opportunities' own AI model to interpret meaning across languages and rank results rather than relying only on literal keyword occurrence. Users can combine intent or keyword search with category, buyer, supplier, geography, value and notice-type filters, then save searches as alerts. The provider does not publish training data, embeddings, precision/recall, score calibration or customer-specific evaluation results.
Open Opportunities Intent Search ↗Open Opportunities product ↗Search user guide ↗Open Opportunities reports collecting procurement data since 2006, storing 11.4 million documents and exposing tenders, contracts, awards and planning notices. Team includes full history while Solo is limited to 90 days; award records expose supplier, buyer, value and award dates, with API access to the wider structured corpus. History and completeness still vary with what each source publishes.
Open Opportunities pricing ↗Open Opportunities about ↗Data feature breakdown ↗Records carry buyer fields and links, users can search buyer names and inspect buying patterns, and quality checks validate/back-fill the buyer field. The documented deduplication is notice-level; no first-party page establishes canonical buyer IDs, name aliases, organisational hierarchies, merger handling or cross-notice entity-resolution metrics.
Open Opportunities data-quality reports ↗Open Opportunities sales workflow ↗Users can filter awards by supplier name and monitor competitors, but the reviewed pages do not establish canonical supplier IDs, Companies House or registry matching, alias resolution, duplicate winners or structured supplier pages. Notice deduplication should not be mistaken for supplier entity resolution.
Search by supplier ↗Open Opportunities data-quality reports ↗The Team plan exposes expiring contracts awarded in the last five years, and source records include contract start/end dates and award details. Users can search or alert on expiries and competitors. Public documentation does not establish calculated expiry when source dates are missing, extension-option handling, modification/termination monitoring, confidence scores or confirmation that a replacement tender has actually been published.
Open Opportunities pricing ↗Open Opportunities coverage fields ↗Open Opportunities home ↗Planning notices support early opportunity discovery and the provider publishes bid guidance, but no in-product requirements extraction, compliance matrix, gap/evidence workflow, owner assignment, remediation plan, deadline tracking or readiness state was established.
The web product provides saved searches, daily alerts, bookmarks/watchlists, record sharing and Team CSV downloads up to 100 rows; Team has unlimited users. The separately priced REST API returns JSON, documents and daily updates for CRM, dashboard, Teams/Slack alert routing and research automation, with a sandbox and documented rate limits. The web app does not establish assignments, comments, bid stages or direct submission.
