Setting Up Email Alerts

With TenderWolf alerts, you automatically receive a notification whenever new tenders match your profile. Never miss an opportunity again.

TenderWolf offers different types of alerts:

1. Profile Alerts

Based on your company profile. You receive notifications for all new contracts that match your configured sectors, CPV codes, and regions.

2. Saved Search Alerts

For specific searches you’ve saved. Useful if you’re following a niche or specific customer.

3. Contracting Authority Alerts

Follow specific contracting entities. Get notified for every new tender from that organization.

4. Deadline Alerts

Reminders for upcoming deadlines of tenders on your shortlist.

Improving Alert Quality

Getting too many or too few alerts? Here’s what you can do:

Too Many Alerts

• Refine your company profile with more specific CPV codes
• Limit the regions
• Set a minimum contract value
• Use filters to exclude irrelevant categories

Too Few Alerts

• Add more CPV codes
• Expand your regions
• Lower or remove the minimum contract value
• Create a second profile alert for another area of expertise

Best Practices

1. Check your spam folder — Add [email protected] to your contacts
2. Check alerts the same day — The faster you respond, the more prep time you have
3. Combine with shortlist — Add interesting alerts directly to your shortlist
4. Review monthly — Are your alerts still relevant? Adjust as needed
