SPECIALIST SUPPORT / PART OF BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
OPPORTUNITY INTELLIGENCE.
A supporting capability within Business Development & Opportunity Research. People read published notices within the coverage agreed with you, filter them against your profile and send a short brief you can act on, rather than a feed you have to process.
A MANAGED SERVICE, NOT A FEED
This is not a software subscription, a keyword alert or a database login. There is no product to learn. duestar℠ people monitor published sources, read what comes back, discard what does not fit and write up what does.
The difference matters because the hard part of bid monitoring is not collecting notices. It is deciding which three of this month's notices your company should actually spend time on, and being able to explain why.
WHAT WE MONITOR
We agree the sectors, geography, government and commercial buyers, published sources and cadence at the start of each engagement. The work draws on buyers' own channels, procurement portals and other available sources within that scope.
Coverage is targeted to your approved profile, and you can also bring opportunities you have found for qualification. The result is a short, prioritized brief, not a raw feed of notices.
FILTERED AGAINST YOUR PROFILE
Before monitoring starts we agree a pursuit profile with you: the services you want to win, the contract sizes you can carry, the regions you can staff, the licenses and certifications you hold, the bonding you can furnish, and the project evidence you can prove.
Each notice is tested against that profile. Most are discarded. The ones that survive are the ones where the eligibility conditions look satisfiable and the work is genuinely yours to compete for.
WHAT A BRIEF CONTAINS
- Link to the published source, so you can read the original
- Buyer and a plain summary of the scope
- Submission deadline and the questions cutoff
- Mandatory meetings or site visits, with dates and whether attendance is a condition
- Bonding, licensing, insurance and experience requirements
- Gaps we can already see against your profile
- A pursue, consider or pass recommendation with the reason behind it
- One next step, with an owner and a date
AN ILLUSTRATIVE BRIEF
Hypothetical example, not a live bid. A county publishes a three year facilities maintenance services request. Scope matches your crews and the region is one you staff. The brief would note a mandatory pre-bid walkthrough eleven days out, a performance bond requirement, a request for three comparable public agency projects within the last five years, and a questions cutoff before the walkthrough.
It would then say what is unresolved: two of your three closest projects were delivered for private clients, so the comparable public experience needs confirming, and the bond amount needs your surety's view before the walkthrough. The recommendation would be consider, with the next step being a call with your surety this week, owned by your finance lead.
Every figure and detail in that example is invented to show the shape of a brief. It does not describe a real solicitation or a real client.
duestar℠ supports government and commercial clients across the United States. Specific geography, buyers and sources for opportunity research are agreed per engagement; this does not mean every notice or buyer is monitored.
HOW WE WORK WITH YOUR TEAM
The expertise comes from duestar℠; the facts, decisions and approvals stay with you. Work is coordinated through a shared client portal where your team sees what needs its input, shares documents and reviews drafts. The portal supports the engagement and is not sold separately. You can use this service on its own or with other duestar℠ services, as a defined project, ongoing scoped support or alongside your existing team.
We do not promise exhaustive coverage of any market, and a recommendation is advice rather than a determination. The buyer decides eligibility. Coverage, cadence and fees are agreed before work starts.
