What portal reading costs your business development team

Most BD teams spend hours a week opening the same portals. Put in your own numbers.

  • One daily brief replaces the morning round of portal searches.
  • Recompetes and prior notices give you months, not days, to prepare a bid or a teaming agreement.
  • A single subcontract from a prime usually covers many years of the subscription.

Questions defence suppliers ask

What is DefenceContractors?
DefenceContractors is a procurement intelligence platform for the defence industry. It collects public tenders, prior notices, contract awards, programme news and supplier relationships from the US, UK, NATO and European Union buyers, and matches them to what your company supplies.
Where does the data come from?
Only from public sources: official procurement portals and award databases in the US, UK and EU, NATO agency notices, ministry of defence announcements and company reports. Every record shows its source and the date it was published, with a link to the original notice. See data sources.
Do you store export controlled or classified information?
No. We hold procurement metadata only: titles, buyers, dates, values, classification codes and links. We never store technical data about weapons, export controlled technical data or anything behind a portal login.
How is a match scored?
Each notice gets a fit score from 0 to 100 built from four parts: how closely the wording fits your capability, whether the classification codes sit in your capability area, whether the buyer is in a market you chose, and timing (deadline, early signal or how long until a current contract ends). The reasons are shown next to every score.
What is a recompete?
A recompete is a contract that is coming to an end and will usually be tendered again. We read the end dates of awarded contracts and list the ones finishing in the next months, so you can approach the buyer and the incumbent before the new tender is published.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes, once. The match on this page runs on the full data set and shows the first three opportunities without an account. A plan unlocks every row, all tabs, daily alerts and exports. There is no free plan.
Which plan do I need?
Pro suits one business development lead with up to two capability profiles. Business adds five seats, ten profiles, the partner finder and contact reveals for a team or a consultancy. Enterprise adds the Data and API access, SSO, an audit log and 25 seats for primes and data teams.
Is yearly billing cheaper?
Yes. Every plan costs half as much per month when billed yearly. Payments are final; see the refund policy.
How do you handle business contact data?
People records hold business roles only, taken from public sources such as official notices and company press releases, under legitimate interest. Anyone can ask for a correction or removal on the data removal page.
Do you cover programmes like F-35, GCAP and FCAS?
Yes. Programme pages collect the lead primes, phase, procurement milestones and related notices and awards for F-35, GCAP, FCAS, Eurofighter, ESSI, Patriot, Boxer, CV90 and more.
