Limits of Keyword Alerts
- False positives: Keywords can appear in contexts unrelated to the company’s needs, forcing users to manually sort through numerous irrelevant results.
- Lack of precision: Tender notices are often written in a complex and varied manner. Keyword alert tools cannot always grasp the nuances and specifics of opportunities, leading to the potential loss of interesting contracts.
- Time and frustration: Managing keyword alerts can become a time-consuming and frustrating task. Users must sift through many results to find relevant opportunities, which can discourage them and lead them to abandon the search.
Limits of Aggregators:
- Overabundance of entries: Users are overwhelmed with offers not related to their business.
- Changes and Errors: Replicated tenders may have changed from the original, and errors might creep in.
- Delays: Delayed timeframe from original posting.
- Geographic segmentation is not possible.
Limits of official Tendering sites:
- Searches by keyword or by category (and tenders are often badly sorted)
- Numerous sites and entries to sift through
