Start with a 15-minute filter to protect your team's time
Open IndexBox Tenders and immediately filter by your core category. For transport and logistics, start with 'Non-Consulting Services' or 'Goods' to cut through the noise. Yesterday, 87 new tenders were in Non-Consulting Services and 121 in Goods, while 652 were in Works—a category likely irrelevant for most logistics buyers.
Next, filter by your target countries. India, France, and Vietnam were top sources yesterday. Use the Markets directory to focus your search. This two-step filter takes 15 minutes but saves hours by eliminating tenders outside your operational scope before you read a single line.
- First filter: Category (e.g., Non-Consulting Services).
- Second filter: Country (e.g., India, France, Vietnam).
- Ignore the 'Other' category (192 tenders yesterday) unless you have spare capacity.
Avoid these two false signals that waste precious days
Don't chase tender volume alone. Seeing 1,142 new tenders yesterday might feel urgent, but 2957 closed. A high closure rate often signals a batch expiry, not a market collapse. Focus on the steady 7-day average of new opportunities, not daily spikes.
Don't misinterpret the bid window. The 14-day average for new tenders is critical, but the 30-day rolling average is 48 days. This means some tenders have very long windows. Prioritize by the published closing date, not just the average. A tender closing tomorrow is your real deadline.
Execute your shortlist in IndexBox Tenders with concrete steps
After filtering, use the analytics feed to check award concentration for your key transport corridors. Look for patterns: are certain routes consistently awarded to the same few companies? This helps gauge competition before you invest bid preparation time.
Save your filtered search. Use the platform's alert features to get notified of new tenders matching your exact scope (category + country). This automates your daily 15-minute check and ensures you see relevant opportunities as soon as they are published.
