A Contract Award Notice reports which company has won a previously published tender. Many subscribers like to receive Contract Award Notices because of the excellent subcontract opportunities they provide via the main contractor (ie the company which has won the tender).
Receive alerts whenever a new tender is added which contains your keyword(s) in the main text of the document.
NOTE: This option can result in an increased number of alerts so it is recommended you only include the most relevant keywords and phrases.

There are several tools and tips you can use to enjoy even more tender opportunities.
Make sure you have all possible tender categories relevant to the products / services supplied by your business. You can check your existing categories here and add more if necessary.
Use the keyword search facility in Advanced Search regularly. Many products / services appear within larger projects in addition to having their own tender categories. For example "doors" and "fire extinguishers" often appear within construction projects. In these situations you would typically request to tender (or quote) with the successful main contractor (which you'll find in the Contract Award Notice) rather than the organisation behind the original tender.
Consider having "Contract Awards" switched on in your Account (by default it is switched off). Using the example above, if you have found a tender notice which includes your product / service in the tender description then add it to My Favourite Tenders. You will then be notified when the contract has been awarded and can approach the main contractor.
Use the My Favourite Tenders facility. Whenever you open a tender document you will see (on the right) a panel featuring a gold star. Clicking Add within this panel means you will be notified instantly if any updates are published relating to this tender.
Most private sector projects reported by QSL centre upon the construction of new premises or a straightforward relocation - eg new head office, new distribution centre etc. Many products / services are required to complete these projects (view list of typical products / services).
