The person behind Buzz

Hi, I'm Theo

I built Buzz because we were paying too much for tender alerts.

The backstory

Why Buzz exists

I work at an SME in the UK and occasionally we bid for local government contracts. Winning tenders isn't our main source of revenue; we just need to keep an eye on what's coming out. I wanted an email every morning telling me which opportunities matched our keywords.

I tried the free services but they were far too noisy, so we signed up to a well-known tender platform. It was a good service. The problem was we didn't need 90% of it. We were paying around £150 a month for AI dashboards and bid reviews when all we wanted was a clean, daily email of relevant opportunities.

So I built that. I stripped it back to what matters and charged a fair price for it. No per-user fees, no upsells, no sales calls. Just the alerts, tailored to your business.

What Buzz is (and isn't)

Simple on purpose

Simple on purpose

No AI scoring, no CRM integrations, no dashboard widgets. I even got rid of CPV codes. You get a daily email with your relevant tenders.

Fairly priced

£9.99 a month or £79.99 a year. If all you need is alerts, you shouldn't pay for everything else.

Email-first

Your inbox is where you work, so that's where your tenders go. Every weekday at 8am.

One-person operation

No sales team chasing you and no account managers booking check-in calls. Just a product that does what it says.

Sounds like your kind of thing?
