Two different jobs: GovWin IQ, from Deltek, is an account-based platform for finding public-sector opportunities and tracking who else bids on them. Tender Radar is a free, private browser tool for a narrower job — turning a CSV export you already have into a deadline-ordered shortlist, before you spend an afternoon reading notices that were never going to fit your trade or your floor value.

GovWin IQ is a government-contracting intelligence platform built by Deltek for contractors who sell into the public sector: opportunity discovery and forecasting, incumbent and competitor tracking, and agency spending history, run as an ongoing account. GovWin IQ's own pricing and current feature list are not reachable from this session to confirm, so no dollar figure or plan name for GovWin IQ is stated here — only its well-documented identity and category, an account-based public-sector opportunity and competitive-intelligence platform.
Tender Radar does none of what GovWin IQ does. It does not find opportunities, forecast agency spending, or track competitors. It takes a CSV export you already have — title, buyer, deadline, category, value, url — and filters it by trade (matching several spellings of the same trade in one pass), a minimum contract value, and deadline runway, entirely in your browser, with no account and nothing uploaded. Your pasted CSV and filter settings are saved to your own browser's local storage so the shortlist workflow is there again next time you open the page.
| Question | Where to answer it |
|---|---|
| I need to find public-sector opportunities and see who else usually bids on them. | GovWin IQ, or a comparable platform — opportunity discovery is not something Tender Radar does. |
| I already have a list of notices. Which ones are actually worth reading closely? | Tender Radar — free, instant, private, no account. |
| The same trade is spelled three different ways across my export. Can I catch all of them in one filter? | Tender Radar's trade filter takes a comma-separated list of spellings and matches any of them. |
| How has this agency awarded similar contracts in the past? | GovWin IQ, or a comparable research platform — Tender Radar only sorts and filters the export you give it. |
| Do I need to create an account or sign up to use the tool? | Tender Radar: no. GovWin IQ is used through a Deltek account. |
Most public-sector contractors get different value from each: GovWin IQ (or a comparable platform) for finding and forecasting opportunities as an ongoing account, and a private tool like Tender Radar for cutting a CSV export — from that platform or any portal — down to a deadline-ordered shortlist in minutes. Once a notice survives the shortlist, the bid readiness checker covers the paperwork go/no-go on it; Tender Radar's own findings are a shortlist, not a market forecast or a competitor record.
Often both, for different jobs. GovWin IQ, from Deltek, is a government-contracting intelligence platform for finding public-sector opportunities and tracking agency and competitor history, run as an ongoing account. Tender Radar does none of that. It takes a CSV export of notices you already have — from a portal, from GovWin IQ, or from anywhere else — and filters it by trade, minimum value, and deadline into a shortlist you can read in minutes, entirely in your browser, with no account and nothing uploaded. A contractor who needs to discover and forecast public-sector opportunities is better served by GovWin IQ or a comparable platform; a contractor who already has a list of notices and wants it cut down to what is worth an afternoon is in the right place here.
GovWin IQ's own search and saved-opportunity tooling can narrow what it surfaces, but turning an arbitrary CSV export you already hold into a fast, private, deadline-ordered shortlist is not that platform's job any more than opportunity discovery and agency-spending research are Tender Radar's job. Some contractors use GovWin IQ or a comparable service to find and export notices, then run that export through Tender Radar before reading any of them closely; neither tool replaces the other.
