RFPs and tenders
Someone just asked for a 12-month media RFP.
Councils, universities, health systems and agencies buy web, marketing, data and software work in the open. FirstAsk reads the notices, extracts the closing date, the portal and what a response costs, and puts them next to your other leads. Off by default; on when you bid.
Every notice carries its deadline and counts down. Leads closing within three days turn amber.
Who is buying, where to respond, and whether a pre-bid call or registration is mandatory.
Bid bonds, sealed submissions, references required: the effort is stated up front so you can decide fast.
Budget and scope lines quoted from the notice itself, with stated and estimated figures labelled.
What arrives
Your service lines, floor and geographies apply. A $60k media tender in Oregon reaches a paid-ads shop that works in the US, not everyone.
On paid plans, large tenders above your real-time threshold go out the minute they are qualified, so you get the full response window.
Save, mark proposal sent, record the value if you win. The pipeline shows what tenders are worth to you at renewal time.
