Know more before the bid deadline. See more after the award.
The four modules of the Market Compass tell you more about awards, the competition, expiring framework agreements and the background of a tender. The Market Compass is included in every plan, BOND Pro too.
Award Watch
Find out who won the contract.
The winner at a glance
The notification names the winner of the award, so you see who came out on top without asking the contracting authority.
Register as a subcontractor
Once the main contractor is known, you can register as a subcontractor for the contract.
Market Insights
Gauge the competition before you bid.
A range, not a single number
You see a range instead of a single number, so you can judge the estimate properly.
Competition per contracting authority
You also see the competition at each contracting authority and how often it changes its contractor, so you can decide on solid ground whether a bid is worth it.
Tender Forecast
Prepare for re-tenders before they are published.
Set your own lead time
You decide how many months before the contract ends Tender Forecast points you to an expiring framework agreement.
Figures from the last award
For each contract you see the contract value and the number of bids at the last award, plus an expected value today, indexed to the consumer price index.
Tender Intelligence
Understand what lies behind a tender.
Reason and background
The web research shows what led up to the tender and the reason behind it, even when the tender documents do not mention it.
The buyer’s earlier awards
From the BOND procurement database you see what the same buyer has already awarded in the same field, each with year, title and value.

Frequently asked questions about the Market Compass
4 questions
What is the Market Compass?
The Market Compass brings together four modules for before and after the bid deadline, outside the flow from search to bid: Award Watch, Market Insights, Tender Forecast and Tender Intelligence (still in development). It is included in every plan and only spends tokens from your budget.
Is the Market Compass included in BOND Pro?
Yes, all four modules are available in every plan, BOND Pro included.
What does the Market Compass cost?
Nothing extra. Each module spends tokens from your monthly budget, more or fewer depending on the scope. If you need more, buy extra tokens or move to a bigger plan.
How is Award Watch different from “Bookmarked”?
“Bookmarked” keeps a tender in view until the bid deadline, while Award Watch follows it beyond that through to the award.
