Tender & Bidding Search

When Do You Need to Search for Tender and Bidding Information?

A construction company preparing to bid on a municipal road renovation project needs to determine the number of tender notices, budget ranges, and the distribution of winning bidders for similar projects nationwide over the past three months. A security equipment supplier wants to know which region recently released procurement requirements for surveillance systems. An analyst at a bidding agency wants to calculate the win rate of competitors. In these situations, a tender and bidding information search tool can help you quickly locate target data without manually refreshing the announcement pages of various trading platforms.

How to Use This Search Tool

Open our search tool, and you will see a clean search panel:
① Enter core project terms in the "Keywords" input box, such as "smart traffic," "campus renovation," or "medical equipment.";
② If you only want to view a specific industry, select "Engineering/Goods/Services" from the dropdown menu;
③ Limit the search time frame: click the date picker, for example, from "2025-01-01" to "2025-03-31";
④ Check "Show Tender Notices Only," "Show Award Results Only," or "All" as needed;
⑤ Click the "Search" button, and the right list will immediately display matching records. Each record contains core fields like project name, release date, budget amount, tendering entity, and winning bidder (if any).

A Complete Search: Finding Award Results for "Smart Traffic" Projects

Suppose you are a traffic light supplier and want to see which smart traffic projects nationwide finalized their winning bidders in the fourth quarter of 2024. In the search tool:
• Enter "smart traffic" as the keyword;
• Select "Award Results" for the type;
• Set the time range to 2024-10-01 to 2024-12-31;
• Click search.
It returns 47 records, one of which is "City X Smart Traffic Phase II Project": budget amount 12.5 million RMB, winning bidder "XX Technology Co., Ltd.", winning bid amount 11.9 million RMB, bid opening date 2024-11-15. This means the competitor won the bid at a 95.2% discount rate, allowing you to compare your own pricing strategy. If the search result is empty, you might have chosen the wrong keyword or time frame; try expanding the scope.

How to Read the Results

The fields of each record have clear meanings:
• Budget Amount: The budget the tendering party plans to invest, not the final transaction price;
• Winning Bid Amount: The actual contract price, usually lower than the budget;
• Winning Bidder: The winning enterprise. Note that it might be a consortium (marked with "Consortium");
• Bid Opening Time: The time when bidding closes and bids are publicly unsealed. There may be an objection period afterward.
If the search returns a tender notice (not yet opened), you can only see the budget and the registration deadline, with no award information. At this point, you can use the "Bid Alert" feature (if available) to set up keyword subscriptions.

Three Typical Practical Scenarios

Scenario 1: Construction companies looking for work — Search for the latest tender notices for "construction engineering" and "municipal engineering" every Monday morning, sort by budget amount from highest to lowest, and prioritize following up on projects over 10 million RMB.
Scenario 2: Suppliers analyzing the market — For example, LED screen manufacturers regularly search for award results of "display screen procurement" to see which regions and what scale of projects are won by whom, using this to adjust sales territories and pricing.
Scenario 3: Bidding agencies reviewing competitors — Enter your own company name to check the winning records over the past year, then enter the names of several major competitors to compare the number and amount of winning bids, understanding your position in the industry.

Three Common Pitfalls

• Keywords too broad or too narrow: Searching for "engineering" will return millions of unfilterable records; searching for "City X 2025 accessible toilet renovation" might return nothing. It is recommended to try general industry terms first, then use "project name" for precise matching.
• Confusing tender notices with award results: Pay attention to dates—bids are generally opened about 20 days after the tender notice is published, and award results come 1-2 months later. Be sure to distinguish between the two statuses when searching.
• Ignoring regional restrictions: Many projects require local enterprises or local performance records to bid. It is best to add regional filters when searching (if the tool supports it) or search province by province yourself.

Important Notes: Data Scope and Timeliness

The data source for this tool comes from public information on public resource trading platforms at all levels nationwide, covering most government and state-owned enterprise procurement projects, but excluding classified projects and private enterprise self-tendering. Data updates have a delay of 1-3 business days (large projects may be faster). Search results are for reference only and cannot replace official announcements; be sure to go to the original website to download official documents for confirmation before bidding. Meanwhile, due to inconsistent formats across platforms, individual fields may display "-" indicating unknown; please refer to the original announcement.
