Public contracts are published every day on the government's Find a Tender service, and almost no trade business looks. Gaffer pulls that feed in, filters it to your trades, and lets you bookmark the ones worth pursuing and start a bid from them in one step.

The official Find a Tender feed, filtered to work you could actually do.
Opportunities come from the UK government's Find a Tender service — the statutory publication point for public contracts above threshold — not a resold aggregator.
Notices are matched against your trade types, so you see the ones you could bid on rather than every contract in the country.
Bookmark the ones worth considering, and start a bid directly from an opportunity so the tender record carries its details across.
Tender opportunities feed straight into the tender writer and your bid library.
The UK government's Find a Tender service, which is where public sector contract notices above the relevant thresholds must be published. Gaffer reads its official API rather than scraping a third-party listing site.
More than most assume — councils, housing associations, schools and NHS trusts all procure routine trade work, often in lots sized for regional contractors. The barrier is usually the paperwork, which is what the tender writer and accreditation tools address.
It builds your shortlist, and from a bookmarked opportunity you can start a bid, which creates the tender record with the client, deadline and value already populated.
You see notices from the Find a Tender feed matched to your trades. Lower-value contracts are sometimes advertised only on Contracts Finder or a buyer's own portal, so it is a strong source rather than a complete one.
