Wondering how you can find RFP bids? Here’s how!

Are you trying to find RFP bids? If you’re just starting out, you might be unsure of where to begin. Perhaps you’re wondering how to go about finding defense contracts online or a public sector contracts finder. Fortunately, we understand the struggle of finding the right tendering opportunities for your business. That is why we created our Hudson Discover Division. Keep reading to find out more about Discover and how to find RFP bids and the latest tenders.

How to find RFP bids

When you first begin searching for RFP bids, you’ll likely start with a search engine such as Google. This allows you to search various websites for possible RFP bids. The issue with this is that it’ll likely take you hours to find an opportunity that’s right for your business.

There are even more issues that also come up aside from this method being time-consuming. One being that a lot of sites use CPV codes to list tenders. This isn’t always an accurate way of locating them. A lot of the time, they can be listed wrong, and others go unrecognized. So, the perfect opportunity for you could easily be missed! However, if there was a portal where RFPs were uploaded manually by people, this wouldn’t be an issue. Luckily, this is available through Hudson Discover.

How Hudson Discover can help you find RFP bids

Hudson Discover is one division of our company that supports businesses in finding tendering and funding opportunities. We have 11 sector-specific portals to streamline the process when you’re trying to find RFP bids.

As mentioned earlier, scouring hundreds of websites is time-consuming and can yield undesirable results. Imagine spending all this time and not finding any opportunities! With our Discover portals, you can use keywords to search for suitable contracts. Plus, you can use filters to choose location and the budget. We also display the deadline date, so you don’t have to go through lengthy documents to find it. We can even offer bid notification services to keep you up to date with when new tenders are uploaded.

It really couldn’t be easier… or could it?

Discover Elite

Yes, with Discover Elite, it is even easier than that! When you sign up to Discover Elite, you’ll be assigned a dedicated Account Manager. They will then find RFP bids on your behalf! You won’t need to browse our portals as your Account Manager will do all the work for you. They’ll call you weekly to discuss any opportunities they think you may be interested in. Plus, they can provide you with tender breakdowns. So, you’ll be able to see how our other division, Hudson Succeed, can help you win your RFP bid.

Summary

So, let’s recap what we covered so no important details are forgotten!

To find RFP bids, you can start by using an online search engine such as Google. However, this method can be time-consuming and tedious.
