Better tendering starts with market knowledge.
ETIntell gives you continuous insight into current, upcoming and comparable tenders, so you can tender more transparently, more professionally and on firmer ground.
- Market insight before you write the tender
- Better substantiated choices towards your executive board
- A complete and current picture of your own tenders
Used by Dutch municipalities, water authorities and independent public bodies to prepare tenders better. Built by procurement and tendering experts.
One data source for the market you buy in
Tender data for the Netherlands (TenderNed) and Europe (TED).
This shows you which suppliers are active, what comparable contracts delivered elsewhere and when your own contracts come back to market.
As of October 2026.
Does this sound familiar?
These are the challenges our own advisory practice ran into for years, working for contracting authorities:
You do not know which suppliers are active before you go to market.
Specifications get written without a clear picture of the supplier landscape, and the response to the tender disappoints.
Your tenders attract too few bidders.
The requirements do not match what the market can deliver, or the right suppliers never see the tender.
A market scan takes days of work and still gives you an incomplete picture.
Searching TenderNed by hand is time-consuming and fragmented. The European market (TED) stays largely out of view.
About one in six awarded contract opportunities receives only a single bid (17%). Source: ETIntell TenderInquest.
About this figure: this is our own measurement based on ETIntell TenderInquest, in which TED and TenderNed independently arrive at the same percentage. This page previously cited “one in nine tenders”, from an external source; the new measurement counts per awarded contract opportunity - the level at which awards are recorded - and is therefore not comparable with the old figure.
Whether your organisation is a large municipality or a smaller procurement department, the challenge is the same. ETIntell was built to solve exactly these information problems. It gives you the market knowledge you need before you publish.
Better tendering. More competition. Stronger accountability.
Know who is in the market before you go out to tender
ETIntell identifies which suppliers are active per CPV category, region and market segment, including historical tender data and contract values. That way you write specifications the market responds to, and you attract more bidders.
A market scan in hours, not days
What would otherwise take days of manual searching, ETIntell does in minutes. Historical tender data, contract values and supplier overviews, available straight away and filtered to your specific need. The time saving starts with your first search.
Control over your TenderCalendar
ETIntell gives you a complete overview of your running contracts, renewal moments and tendering schedule, supplemented with data from peer organisations. That keeps you in control of workload, regulatory compliance and capacity planning. The TenderCalendar in ETIntell is derived from published contracts, start and end dates and renewal options - including from organisations that announce nothing. The free function of the same name on TenderNed only shows what contracting authorities voluntarily announce.
What do you get?
An ETIntell subscription (EUR 450 per month excluding VAT, annual contract for your whole organisation, up to 5 users) gives you access to:
Market scan
Insight into active suppliers per CPV code, historical success rates, the average number of bids and benchmarks from comparable tenders. So you can write specifications that attract the right suppliers and choose the best award strategy.
TenderCalendar
Every tender of a contracting authority, both completed and running, with start and end dates and renewal options. So you know when you need to go back to market, and you also see the tenders of comparable organisations for joint procurement and benchmarking.
Alerts
A daily signal of new, completed and failed tenders at your own organisation and at comparable public bodies. Aimed at managers who are not directly involved in tendering but do want to stay informed.
Contract value benchmarking
Test your cost estimate against comparable contracts from other contracting authorities.
Historical tender data from 2017 onwards
A complete overview of what has been tendered, awarded and completed in your market.
Insight into comparable tenders of peer organisations
Learn from other municipalities, water authorities and independent public bodies.
Expert dashboard for procurement strategy and policy substantiation
In-depth filtering, saved selections, data export for policy papers and procurement plans. For every team member who produces analyses.
The bidder’s perspective
See how market parties look at your tenders: which opportunities they spot, who wins at comparable contracting authorities and when contracts become available. That explains why your tenders attract more bidders, or fewer.
One subscription. Up to five users. Unlimited profiles per user. Both the bidder’s and the buyer’s perspective included.
Built on deep subject knowledge and years of hands-on experience.
ETIntell was not built by a software company that discovered tendering. It grew out of more than 30 years of substantive experience with tendering at public and semi-public organisations, from working out strategy and regulatory compliance to writing specifications.
That practical knowledge determines which questions ETIntell answers, at what level of detail and for whom. You work with a platform designed around the questions procurement professionals actually ask, not the questions that happen to be easy to answer technically.
"Not a software company that started doing 'something with tenders', but software designed from tendering expertise."
What contracting authorities say
Dutch municipalities, water authorities and semi-public organisations that use ETIntell to prepare tenders better and account for them more strongly:
"A proper market scan used to cost me two to three days of searching TenderNed and Google. With ETIntell I see within an hour which suppliers are active in my category, what comparable organisations have paid and how many bidders I can realistically expect. That gives me direction for my specification straight away."
"For every tender I have to substantiate a cost estimate towards the executive board. ETIntell shows me in a few clicks what comparable municipalities have awarded for the same type of contract. That gives me a solid basis for my estimate, and it stops me receiving quotes far above the market."
"The TenderCalendar finally gives us an overview of our own running contracts and those of comparable water authorities. We now see immediately when contracts expire, we can plan our capacity better and we explore options for joint procurement more easily. It is a huge improvement for our annual planning."
