We've added fourteen new sources to Open Opportunities, and this batch reaches well beyond national portals.
Three come from the British Isles: the government of a Crown Dependency, a UK regulator, and a fire and rescue service. Fire and rescue buys everything from vehicles and protective equipment to IT and training, and these notices rarely surface on the big national portals.
Two come from Australia. One is a marketplace used by councils and public bodies for smaller, local contracts. The other is the national record of contract awards, so you can see who won what and at what value.
The rest cover new ground. A regional portal for Tuscany. A community procurement platform in Colombia. A French public procurement marketplace. A provincial tender portal in Canada. A city transit authority in the United States. Four utility and industrial buyers running their own portals, including a Caribbean power company, a US water company and a Gulf shipyard.
Transit operators, utilities and emergency services publish on their own systems, not on the national portal. If you sell into those sectors, this is the coverage you have been missing.
