New tenders

Published procurement opportunities matched to your saved tender searches.

Expiring competitor contracts

Contracts held by relevant competitors that are approaching expiry, helping identify potential future windows to compete.

Meetings & documents

Relevant developments identified in published meeting papers, minutes, reports, strategies and related public documents.

Competitor awards

Contracts and frameworks won by suppliers you follow.

Postholder changes

New, changed or removed people in roles relevant to your target market.

Organisation changes

Changes to public bodies, structures, names, classifications and relationships.

News & announcements

Relevant public sector developments that add context around your target accounts and markets.

Supplier activity

Changes in supplier presence and activity that help build a clearer view of the competitive landscape.

Coverage depends on the available source data and your account setup. A signal identifies something worth assessing; it does not guarantee a commercial opportunity.

How Oscar does it

Thousands of scattered events. One feed that makes sense of them.

Public sector activity is spread across thousands of sites, documents and data sets, most of it unstructured. Oscar centralises it, structures it, then matches, scores and evaluates every event so you only receive what is worth your time.

1

Collect

Thousands of disparate sources

Tenders, contracts, spend, meetings, papers, news, announcements, organisations and people — gathered continuously.

2

Structure

Unstructured into usable

Documents, minutes and announcements are read, classified and linked to the right buyers, suppliers and markets.

3

Match

Against what you care about

Every event is checked against your profile, saved searches, competitors, organisations and keywords.

4

Score

Importance and priority

Scoring and importance rules rank each match so the strongest signals rise to the top.

5

AI evaluate

Fit, confidence and reasons

AI assesses fit, explains why it matters and suggests what to check next.

No more repeated searches across dozens of sources. Just the intelligence that matches your business.

02 / The why

Know where to act, when to engage and what has changed.

Oscar Intelligence helps your team turn public sector activity into something commercially useful — without repeating the same searches or trying to piece together signals across multiple sources.

How matching works
1

Tell Oscar what matters to you

Your company profile, saved searches and targeting preferences provide the context. Depending on the notification type, that can include markets, sectors, organisations, keywords, procurement categories, competitors, roles and functions.

2

Oscar monitors relevant public sector activity

Oscar identifies new activity across connected data and published sources, including tenders, contracts, contract expiries, meetings and documents, organisation and postholder changes, supplier activity and relevant news.

3

Relevant activity is matched to your profile

Different notification types use the relevant matching criteria. Scoring, importance rules and available customer-specific commentary can help prioritise what deserves review.

4

You choose what you receive

Configure notification types, saved searches, minimum importance, recipients and delivery route.

5

Your team decides what to do next

Review the underlying evidence, investigate the account or opportunity, and use the intelligence within your existing commercial workflow.

Configure your alerts

Pipeline opportunities

New tenders + expiring competitor contracts.

Early buying signals

Meetings, documents, plans, decisions, budgets and announcements.

Account & competitor changes

Awards, postholder changes, organisation changes and supplier activity.

Your delivery rules

Choose the searches, minimum importance, recipients and supported delivery routes your team needs.

Use Oscar Intelligence with AI

With the Oscar notifications connection enabled, a supported AI assistant can retrieve intelligence matched to your authenticated account.

“Show me the most important opportunities from the last seven days.”
“Which buying signals deserve a closer look this week?”
“What has changed across my target accounts?”
“Group my competitor contract expiries by buyer and tell me which are approaching soonest.”
“Turn this week's intelligence into a short sales meeting briefing.”

The notifications connection retrieves matched intelligence. Broader database searches, contact access and automatic CRM actions require separate capabilities and permissions.

What is Oscar Intelligence Alerts?

A personalised service that surfaces public sector opportunities, buying signals and market changes matched to the markets, organisations and activities you care about.

How is it different from a tender alert?

Tender alerts focus on published procurement requirements. Oscar Intelligence Alerts also surfaces developments such as expiring competitor contracts, meetings and documents, competitor awards, postholder changes and organisation changes that may be commercially relevant before or beyond a live tender.

What kinds of intelligence can I follow?

Available activity can include new tenders, expiring competitor contracts, relevant meeting and document signals, competitor awards, postholder changes, organisation changes, supplier activity and relevant news or announcements. Coverage depends on the available sources and your account setup.

How are alerts matched to my business?

Your company profile, saved searches and targeting preferences provide the context. Different notification types use the relevant criteria, which can include markets, organisations, procurement categories, keywords, competitors, roles and functions.

How do I receive them?

Matched intelligence can be reviewed in PSN, delivered by email, retrieved through an agreed API connection or accessed through a supported AI assistant using MCP.

Can I use Oscar Intelligence with ChatGPT or another AI assistant?

The Oscar notifications MCP can be used with a compatible, supported AI setup. The connection retrieves matched notifications for the authenticated customer account. Broader database searches, contact access and system actions require separate capabilities and permissions.

What does it cost?

Tell Oscar which markets, users and delivery routes you need. We will confirm notification scope, any broader platform or data access, setup requirements and pricing before you start.
