How it works

Three steps.You do the first one once.

Tell us what you sell. We read the portals every day. You get one message with what fits, and decide in thirty seconds.

01 · TELL US

What you sell, where, and how big.

Pick your sectors, your counties and the contract sizes you'd bid for. Add the words that matter in your trade. Three questions, on WhatsApp or Telegram, two minutes.

02 · WE WATCH

Every notice, every day, at the source.

We read eTenders, Contracts Finder, Find a Tender and TED as they publish, including the small notices that never leave the Irish portal.

03 · YOU DECIDE

One message with what fits.

Buyer, value, deadline, a three-line summary of what they actually want, a fit score, and the link. Reply SAVE and we'll remind you before it closes.

Where it arrives

Telegram if you have it. WhatsApp if you don't.

No app to install and no inbox to check. If you use Telegram, alerts go there, instantly and free. Otherwise they come to your WhatsApp. Either way it's a chat: reply SAVE, MORE or STOP and we understand.

Questions

The honest answers.

Is this the official eTenders?

No. Telpe Tenders is an independent service that reads the public portals and tells you what fits. You still register and bid on the portal itself; we link you straight to the notice.

How fast are the alerts?

Daily alerts go out the same day a notice is published, usually within hours. Irish notices appear on eTenders one to three days before they reach TED, so we read eTenders directly.

Why a chat and not email?

Because tradespeople and small businesses read WhatsApp and Telegram and leave email for later. A chat also lets you reply: SAVE to track, MORE for the next one, STOP to pause.

Do you write the bid for me?

No. We help you find the right ones and never miss a deadline. Writing the tender is your work, or your consultant's.

What do you do with my number?

Send you the alerts you asked for, nothing else. You can pause with STOP and delete everything we hold with DELETE, both by reply.

Can I cancel?

Any time, by reply. No contract, no notice period.
