Free tools to research public procurement
One tool is in English today: the CPV finder for defence, security and emergency procurement. The other free tools are in French and work without an account; the diagnostic and the calculator run in your browser and send nothing. Each page states the reference data or corpus it uses, and what a result does not prove.

02 / 02
In French
Tools written for French public procurement. They are free and need no account; the page language is French.
- 01 Tender monitoring diagnostic Answer questions on your scope, catalogue, sorting and controls to see where your tender monitoring has gaps. The answers stay in your browser.
- 02 Manual monitoring cost calculator Estimate the internal time and cost of searching for tenders by hand, with a visible formula. The calculation runs locally and nothing is sent.
- 03 Incumbent clause check Upload the rules (RC) or technical specification (CCTP) of a French tender to see the clauses that favour the incumbent, quoted word for word. The file is read in memory and not kept.
- 04 CPV finder (French) The French version of the CPV finder: describe a product or service and get the matching defence and security codes with their scope and buyers.
- 05 CPV code directory One page per defence, security, emergency and deployable CPV code, with its label, neighbouring codes and common classification mistakes.
- 06 Free weekly sector digests A generic selection of French tenders from BOAMP, PLACE and TED France each Monday when notices were selected, in 15 sectors, after you confirm your email address. It does not read your catalogue.
- 07 VIGLIA Observatory Periodic measurements of public tender notices (product codes, amounts and deadlines), with the scope and calculation method of each edition.
- 08 Company search Look up a company in the published corpus and read the contract awards documented for it.
- 09 Directory of documented awards Browse the companies and buyers present in the public corpus; a missing entry means the data is not published here, not that the contract does not exist.
- 10 Market scope analysis Filter the published corpus by sector, period or geography to examine the awards available for that scope.
How to use this section
Use the code as a starting point
A buyer may choose a broad, neighbouring or unexpected CPV code. Search the requirement in plain language, inspect related codes and read the notice and lot descriptions before deciding which terms to monitor.
NATO agencies do not use CPV as a universal classification. Their official portals, supplier requirements and current solicitation documents need a separate review.
