For local contractors
Public contracts near you, nearest first.
Tender portals list notices by date. TenderPipe lists them by distance from your postcode, so the school, council and housing work down the road comes first.
No account needed to look. UK, US, Canada and Australia.

Why local firms miss local work
The contract down the road looks the same as one 300 km away.
Councils, schools, housing associations and health trusts each publish on their own portal, in date order, with the location buried in the notice. A small firm checking at the end of the day sees a long list and misses the job it could reach in twenty minutes.
Distance on every notice
"12 km away" sits next to the buyer, so you can tell at a glance what is worth a look.
Your radius, your choice
Set how far you travel and work beyond it drops out of your feed and your email.
Wider contracts still shown
County-wide, statewide and national notices follow the local ones, labelled, so a framework you could join is never lost.

Questions
About nearest first
Does nearest first cost extra?
No. It works on every plan, including the free one. Add your postcode in Settings or when you sign up.
What does the distance measure?
Where the work is delivered when the notice gives an address, and otherwise the buyer's address. A school's cleaning contract is measured to the school; a council contract with no site is measured to the council.
What about contracts that cover a whole county, state or the country?
They come after the located ones, labelled as regional, statewide or national, so a framework you could join is never hidden by the radius.
Which countries work?
Postcodes in the UK, ZIP codes in the US, postal codes in Canada and postcodes in Australia.
Can I change the radius later?
Yes, in Settings at any time. The feed and the next email follow the change.
