What MyTenders covers

MyTenders is an established UK tender alerts service owned by Millstream (the same group that operates Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales as buy-side portals). It aggregates every UK public-sector tender above threshold, offers daily email alerts, and sells to both suppliers and public buyers.

On the supplier side, the core product is keyword alerts matched against incoming tender notices. Pricing is annual subscription, typically starting around £240/year for single-user access and scaling up for multi-user teams.

Where WinAContract differs

The biggest practical difference: WinAContract bundles an AI-powered bid-writing tool (BidWriter) into the same subscription. MyTenders is a tender-alerts service — responding to the tender is your problem.

Suppliers who subscribe to MyTenders typically also pay for a separate bid-writing tool (Qvidian, RFPIO, Loopio, etc.) costing £200+/user/month. WinAContract replaces both with a single integrated workflow.

Finding tenders — equivalent coverage.
Evaluating fit — WinAContract shows buyer history, typical values, incumbent suppliers.
Writing responses — BidWriter generates initial drafts, checks compliance, scores each answer.
Submitting — both rely on buyer portals (ProContract, Bravo, In-Tend etc.); neither automates this.

When MyTenders makes more sense

MyTenders is a mature product with some specific advantages:

If you're a bid consultancy reselling tender alerts to multiple clients, MyTenders' white-label programme is well-established.
If you also need a buy-side portal (you're a public body publishing tenders as well as bidding for them), Millstream's buyer-side platforms integrate tightly.
If brand recognition with your client matters, MyTenders' 20-year reputation carries weight with some procurement teams.

How to switch from MyTenders to WinAContract

Both services work in parallel during transition — you don't lose anything by trying WinAContract alongside. Recommended approach:

1. Sign up free at winacontract.co.uk, recreate your keyword alerts.
2. Run both services for 2-4 weeks. Compare the alerts you receive.
3. If WinAContract coverage matches, cancel MyTenders at your next renewal.
4. Use the saved subscription cost to upgrade BidWriter for AI bid-writing.

Frequently asked questions

Is MyTenders the same as Public Contracts Scotland or Sell2Wales?

MyTenders is owned by the same company (Millstream) that operates Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales on behalf of the Scottish and Welsh governments. But the portals themselves are separate — suppliers use the public portals for free, MyTenders for commercial multi-portal alerts.

Does WinAContract cover the same tenders as MyTenders?

Yes — both aggregate Contracts Finder, Find a Tender Service, Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales, and eTendersNI. Coverage is effectively equivalent. Differences are in alert frequency, filtering capabilities, and what you can do with the tenders once you find them.

Is WinAContract cheaper than MyTenders?

For single users: WinAContract free tier is free vs MyTenders minimum ~£240/year. WinAContract paid plans start at £49/month (£588/year) which is more than MyTenders' baseline but includes AI bid writing which MyTenders doesn't offer. Net: cheaper if you value the AI; similar or more if you only want alerts.

Can I use WinAContract as a white-label service?

WinAContract doesn't currently offer a white-label reseller programme the way MyTenders does. If you're a bid consultancy needing to re-brand the service for clients, MyTenders may suit better; otherwise WinAContract's API access (on paid plans) lets you integrate tender data into your own tooling.

How do keyword alerts compare between the two?

Mechanically identical — both send daily emails listing new tenders matching your keywords. WinAContract alerts include buyer intelligence (typical contract values, award history) inline; MyTenders alerts are more text-only.
