About us
Tussell is the market's trusted source of insight on UK public procurement.
Who are we?
Tussell is a London-based scale-up, founded in 2015 to close a critical gap in the market: access to clear, reliable insight on government contracts and spending.
Since then, we’ve grown into the UK’s leading provider of public procurement intelligence, trusted by suppliers and government alike.
Our market intelligence platform gives you a complete view of the UK public procurement landscape - from early buying signals and live tenders, to contracts, framework agreements, and spending data - all in one place.
Our market intelligence enables:

Suppliers to win more business with government

Buyers to make their procurement go further
Tussell provides the intelligence procurement teams need to make cost-effective & informed commercial decisions. Our data is trusted at the heart of government, across Local Government, and in the NHS.
