What is Tussell?
Tussell is a premium UK public sector market intelligence tool - designed for, and trusted by, leading suppliers to government.
The platform provides the insights public sector BD & Sales teams need to sell and strategise with confidence.
How does the Tussell platform work?
The Tussell platform collects, standardises, and enhances all available data from across the UK public procurement cycle. This allows firms to analyse where and how government is buying, from whom, and at what value.
Who uses the Tussell platform?
Tussell is used by a range of government suppliers across all sectors: from up-and-coming SMEs, to two-thirds of the UK Government's 'Strategic Suppliers'.
Tussell is also used by the government itself - including the Cabinet Office, CCS and National Audit Office - to verify its own procurement. It's also the media's first source of insight when reporting on public procurement, with over 380 press citations in 2024 alone.
What data does Tussell offer?
The Tussell platform includes data from across the full public procurement cycle. This includes:
-
Pre-tender early buying signals (Tussell Early Opportunities)
-
New tenders, pre-market engagements & pipeline notices
-
Awarded contracts
-
Invoice data (Learn more)
-
Framework call-off data (Learn more)
-
Key decision-maker contact details (Learn more)
Which markets does Tussell cover?
The Tussell platform houses insights on practically every government vertical (including Central Government, Local Government, the NHS, Blue Light, Education and Transport).
This extends to all UK devolved nations, although coverage can vary due to differences in procurement publishing legislation.
Tussell does not currently collect data from the Republic of Ireland, the EU or other international markets.
So, Tussell just collects open data?
Not quite. While Tussell draws on open public procurement data, we don’t simply aggregate it. We clean, enhance and verify it so it’s fit for commercial decision-making.
Our data specialists de-duplicate records, resolve inconsistencies, fill in missing information, and continuously enrich our dataset with additional sources - including insight that isn’t readily available through public portals.
The result is decision-ready data you can trust, used by leading suppliers, government teams, and the national media.
Which job roles benefit from Tussell?
Public sector GTM, Business Development, Account Management, Marketing and Bid Management teams typically get the most value from using Tussell.
Who is Tussell meant for?
Tussell is, at its core, a data and intelligence platform.
It’s designed for established suppliers to the UK public sector who want to ground their GTM, BD and sales strategy in high-quality, trusted data.
Teams with the scale and maturity to analyse markets, prioritise accounts and act on insight typically see the greatest return from Tussell - and use Tussell data to move from reactive bidding to proactive, strategic growth.
Who is Tussell not designed for?
Tussell is unlikely to be the right fit for teams that are new to selling into the UK public sector and rely primarily on reactive tender alerts.
While the platform includes tender monitoring, its real value comes from using high-quality data to understand markets, spot opportunities early, and focus effort where it matters most.
Tussell does not provide bid writing, framework application support, procurement consultancy or legal advice. Instead, we equip experienced teams with the intelligence they need to make better commercial decisions.
How is Tussell different to open data?
Open data portals, such as Find a Tender, allow suppliers to view newly published tenders and early market engagements.
Tussell goes much further. We cover the full UK public procurement lifecycle - from early buying signals and tenders through to contract awards, frameworks and spend - giving suppliers a complete, joined-up view of their market.
Crucially, we don’t just centralise this data. We make it decision-ready. Our data experts clean, de-duplicate and enrich records, adding insight you won’t find in open portals. That means you can act with confidence, knowing your strategy is built on the best data available on the market.
How does Tussell compare to other similar services?
Many other services focus on workflow tools, bid writing or tender alerting.
Tussell’s strength is different. We focus on the depth, quality and reliability of the underlying data - enabling teams to strategise in their market, not just respond to it.
This is why Tussell is trusted by government to analyse its own procurement activity, and by national media when reporting on public contracts.
Why would I choose Tussell over another service?
If your business needs high-quality, trusted data to underpin its public sector BD, sales and account strategy, Tussell is designed for you.
If you’re primarily looking for a basic tender alerting tool or a system to manage bid workflows, Tussell is unlikely to be the right fit.
How can I access the Tussell platform?
Tussell is accessible via a paid annual subscription. Once your organisation has signed up, we'll distribute non-shareable logins to your number of purchased users.
What is included in each Tussell subscription Tier?
Tussell access is available across three Tiers: Starter, Plus and Pro. The Tiers differ in three main aspects:
-
Your annual number of guaranteed Account Management support hours
-
Your annual number of FOI requests (which we submit on your behalf)
-
Bundled-in access to Tussell's Premium Add-ons (including Unlimited Key Decision Maker Credits, full Early Opportunities access, and our API).
For a more granular breakdown, head to our Plans page.
How much does each Tussell Tier cost annually?
Our pricing varies depending on your business' size, your subscription length, chosen Tier, and your chosen Premium Add-ons.
Our focus on providing premium, best-in-class data means that our pricing is typically higher than typical tender monitoring services.
