Many public contracts run for a fixed term and then go back out to tender. Public Renewal Radar totals are available without an account. On Business, Renewal Radar lets you browse contracts with published end dates ahead of the re-tender, so you can prepare before the new notice appears. On the Business plan the Renewal Radar tracker also follows contracts you choose and folds 90, 60 and 30 day reminders into your daily email digest. Dates are those published by the buyer, and we do not verify them.

No. Individual contract details and all five Market Intelligence views are Business-only. Signed-out visitors and Free and Pro accounts see aggregate contract counts and values only, not buyer or supplier names, titles or end dates.
