Our verdict
rTenders vs Supply2Gov · best fit by use case
Supply2Gov is a budget-friendly alert service — fine if all you need is a daily email of new notices in your area. But it does not help you decide whether a tender is worth bidding for, let alone help you write the response. rTenders Starter (£35/month) costs roughly the same as Supply2Gov's mid tier but adds AI fit scoring, document analysis, and the generative bid writer aligned to the Procurement Act 2023.
Frequently asked questions
Is rTenders a direct alternative to Supply2Gov?
rTenders covers the same UK tender data sources (Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, regional portals) but adds generative AI for bid writing, fit scoring against your company profile, and automatic PDF tender analysis — capabilities Supply2Gov does not currently offer.
How does pricing compare?
Supply2Gov pricing: From £75/year (single region) to £950/year (UK + EU). rTenders: Starter £35/month, Pro £99/month, Business £349/month — transparent self-serve, 20% off annual, free plan on Pro.
Is rTenders ready for the Procurement Act 2023?
Yes. rTenders is aligned with the Procurement Act 2023 (in force 24 February 2025), supports MAT (Most Advantageous Tender) scoring logic, Social Value PPN 06/20, and Net Zero PPN 06/21.
Can I migrate from Supply2Gov to rTenders?
Yes. You can import your saved searches and pipeline data. rTenders ingests the same FTS + Contracts Finder feeds in real time, so you will not miss any notices during the switch.
