Public tenders for everything mobility runs on

Chargers, batteries, meters and lockers are usually one lot inside a bigger tender. Every night Honeybird reads the documents and finds the lots that fit what you sell.

Opening to bid teams in wavesSee how it works

Honeybird’s tender list for a charging company, with one tender marked worth a bid: OCPP 2.0.1 is required and supported, worth €1.2m, 20 days left

Mobility tenders rarely say “mobility” in the title

Buyers name tenders after the project, not the parts in it. Battery storage is Lot 3 of a depot rebuild, smart meters sit in an energy framework, and a locker network is filed under postal services. Keyword alerts and product codes only see the title. Honeybird reads the documents.

Talk to the buyer before the tender is even out

When a buyer’s contract is about to run out, a new tender usually follows. Follow the buyers you care about and Honeybird lets you know early, while they’re still deciding what to ask for.

Every morning, hundreds of new public tenders go out across Europe. Only a few of them are for what you sell. Honeybird finds those few and shows you the line that says whether you can bid.

All 27 EU countries and the UK, on one list

Every tender above the EU thresholds is published on TED. Below them, buyers publish only in their own country, often on their own portal. Every night Honeybird reads TED, the national portals of 18 EU countries and both UK services, and shows each tender once.

Questions bid teams ask

We don’t make vehicles. Is Honeybird for us?

Yes. In Honeybird, mobility means everything it runs on: grid connections, battery storage, chargers, meters, protocols, software, lockers and hubs. Honeybird checks tenders against what you make and the questions you set.

How is this different from tender alerts?

Alerts match keywords in titles and product codes. Honeybird reads the tender documents, finds mobility work hidden inside larger tenders, and answers your bid or no bid questions with quotes.

Where do the tenders come from?

Only official sources: EU, national, regional and city portals, plus award notices. Each tender links to its notice. See all sources

What if Honeybird can’t read my website?

Point it to a products or services page, or fill in your profile by hand in about 3 minutes.

We’ve never bid on a public tender. Where do we start?

Honeybird shows who can bid on each tender before you spend time on it. When your place opens, we walk you through your first bid. Join the waitlist

Find the tenders that need what you sell
