StoryLeads by Tenderlake - Where Public Sector Procurements Become Stories

The Story’s Already Happening
You just haven’t seen it yet.

Get story leads in sectors shaping the world, from AI and to combatting climate change, defence, education and health care.

StoryLeads is free for qualifying journalists and publishers.

Every day, governments and public bodies launch initiatives that drive change - funding new technology, upgrading infrastructure, transforming healthcare, and addressing environmental challenges.

But the early signals of these changes are buried in thousands of procurement notices. That’s where StoryLeads comes in.

We scan thousands of new public tenders every weekday from the UK, EU/EEA, and global institutions like the World Bank. Then we handpick the ones that match the stories you like to tell - and deliver them straight to your inbox.

What You Get

  • Up to 3 tailored story leads every weekday.
  • Each one includes:
    • A summary of the project or procurement.
    • Why it’s a fit for your beat.
    • A short pitch to inspire your take - with angles, context, and story hooks.
    • A link to the full details of the procurement.
  • Not Just Another Keyword Alert
    Most tender alerts show you what matches a search. StoryLeads shows you what matches your stories.
    We go beyond keywords to understand why a procurement is relevant to your beat and explain how it could become a great story. That means fewer false positives and more leads you’ll actually want to follow up.

Whether you cover technology, healthcare, defence, infrastructure, environment, AI, economic development, or public–private collaboration, StoryLeads helps you uncover the real-world examples that bring your stories to life.

How it Works

  1. You tell us what you cover
    Send a brief email describing your publication and up to three topics you focus on or stories you like to write.

  2. We find the signals in the noise
    Our AI analyses all new public procurement notices each weekday - across central and local government, health, education, infrastructure, research, defence, and more.

  3. You get fresh leads, fast
    Tailored to your beat, story-ready, and 100% free.

Why It's Free

We want more great stories to be told about the projects and decisions shaping our world. In return, we simply ask that you link to the original notice on Tenderlake and mention us as the source when it makes journalistic sense.
