Daily Tender Volume and Value Overview
The global tender landscape on January 26, 2026, demonstrated significant procurement activity with 246 new tenders published worldwide. This represents a substantial volume of new opportunities entering the market for suppliers and contractors. The total estimated value of these new tenders reached $1,280,091,217.69 USD, indicating high-value procurement projects across various sectors and regions.
In contrast to the high volume of new opportunities, award activity was more measured. Only 9 tenders were awarded on this date, with a combined value of $40,252,765.00 USD.

The average bid window across tenders stood at 28.2 days, providing suppliers with approximately four weeks to prepare and submit their proposals. This timeframe represents a standard bidding period that allows for adequate preparation while maintaining procurement efficiency.

This broad classification encompasses various specialized procurement needs that don't fit neatly into traditional categories, suggesting diverse and potentially innovative projects entering the market.

Goods procurement followed with 24 tenders, indicating ongoing needs for equipment, materials, and products. Works (construction and infrastructure) accounted for 16 tenders, while Direct Purchase represented 13 opportunities.
This sector distribution reveals a procurement landscape weighted toward services and specialized categories rather than traditional goods and construction.

Award Analysis and Supplier Success
The 9 awarded tenders on January 26, 2026, were distributed among 5 different winning organizations, each securing one contract. This distribution indicates a competitive landscape where multiple suppliers are successfully winning business rather than dominance by a single entity. The winning organizations represent diverse locations and presumably different specialties.
RCI Technologies Inc (1133 Green Street), Barrosa Brothers Corp (3763 83rd Street), Tully Environmental Inc (127-50 Northern Blvd.), YSKOUD LLC (48 W 2nd Street), and Steven Dubner Landscaping (505 Grand Street) were the successful bidders. The geographic addresses suggest these are primarily U.S.-based companies, though the tender data doesn't specify the location of the awarded contracts themselves.
The fact that each winner secured only one award suggests that procurement authorities are distributing contracts across multiple suppliers rather than consolidating with single providers. This approach can promote competition, reduce supply chain risk, and support smaller businesses. Suppliers should note that even with moderate award volumes (9 total), there are opportunities for multiple organizations to succeed in the current procurement environment.
- 5 different organizations won the 9 awarded tenders
- Each winning organization secured exactly one contract
