UK Tender Alerts — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 31 August 2026 · Package: com.ibrahimtxy.uktender · Developer: ibrahimtxy

In short: this app collects no personal data, does not ask you to create an account and sends nothing to any server of ours — we do not operate one. Everything you enter stays on your phone. There is no advertising network, no analytics and no crash reporting.

Important: This app never signs in, never submits a bid or an expression of interest and never downloads tender documents. It reads the public notice list, tells you when one matches your words, and links you to the official notice. Contract values are shown exactly as published; many notices carry none.

1. What the app does

UK Tender Alerts checks newly published UK public contract notices on the Contracts Finder OCDS search at an interval you choose, and sends a notification to your phone when a notice matching your words is published. An example watch: cabling, £10,000 and up.

The app never buys, reserves or holds anything. It points you at the notice page on Contracts Finder; you act there yourself.

2. Data we collect

None. The developer runs no server and receives nothing from your device — not your watches, not your device identifier, not your usage, not crash reports.

3. What is stored on your device

The watches you create (phrase, notice stage, minimum contract value), your interval setting, the records already seen so the app does not tell you twice, and the measured data usage. All of it lives in the app's private storage and is deleted when you uninstall the app.

4. Servers the app talks to

The app connects ONLY to Contracts Finder. There is no account and no sign-in; it reads the open procurement feed published under the Open Government Licence. The address is:

www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk

These requests are ordinary public web requests over HTTPS, the same ones your browser makes on the public Contracts Finder notice list. They carry no identifier of you.

5. Permissions

Permission	Why
`ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE`	To avoid pointless attempts while offline, and to tell mobile data from Wi-Fi.
`INTERNET`	To reach the public Contracts Finder notice list.
`POST_NOTIFICATIONS`	To tell you a matching notice was published. That is the whole app.
`RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED`	So your watches resume after the phone restarts.
`VIBRATE`	To vibrate when a notification arrives.
`WAKE_LOCK`	So the phone does not fall asleep in the middle of a check. The app does not ask for this itself; the background work library (Android Jetpack WorkManager) adds it.

6. Children

The app is not directed to children and collects no data from anyone.

7. Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it.
