for Government Contracts!

Tenders Electronic Daily (TED) is the best available source of information on current European public purchasing.  It covers all areas of government spending, namely supply, service, and public works contracts.  TED contracts are from all over Europe. This valuable resource has been developed by the European Commission, and we are proud to offer it to you as their representative.  The TED-Alert software automatically searches this database to provide you with contracts of interest.

What Does It Cost?

Initial Investment
Registration
$100 US
This "one-time only" fee covers two things:
  1. The administrative costs to set up your account.
  2. The time and creativity in establishing your profile, and fine-tuning it so that it brings in the best opportunities for you.
Annual Fee
$95 US
This annual fee allows us to offer unlimited free technical support via email, fax or phone.

We also act as your liaison with the central database to get answers to any questions you may have.

Usage Deposit
$50 US
This amount is used as a credit against the ongoing charges listed below.  This saves both of us the time and money spent in making frequent small billings and payments.

You will receive statements that show your remaining balance each month.  We will send a reminder to replenish it.

Ongoing Charges
