One real contract, step by step
A real award notice from the Holdfast database, the way Holdfast reads it for you.
- 01
The buyer
Limerick City and County Council buys grass cutting across the county in four lots: Limerick Metro, Adare Rathkeale, Newcastlewest and Cappamore Kilmallock. The award notice was published on TED, the EU's tender website, in March 2024.
- 02
When it comes back
The notice gives no contract term, so Holdfast assumes 4 years: the contract ends about March 2028, and the re-tender window opens about September 2027, 6 months before. Both dates are estimates, and Holdfast marks them so. Seen in October 2026, that is 11 months' notice.
- 03
What Holdfast shows
Anyone can see the buyer, the contract and the month the window opens (this one is on the pipeline below). Members also see who holds it now, the award value and the link to the notice.

What the firm does next
If you hold it: you have until about September 2027 to get ready: keep records of the work done, ask the council for a reference and plan the renewal bid. If you don't: get the papers tenders usually ask for in order now (insurance, tax clearance, health and safety, references). When the tender is advertised, Holdfast alerts you the morning it appears and, on the Win plans, drafts the bid for you to check.

Oil, gas and mine work for small site contractors
Cleanup money for old wells and mines is spent through dozens of separate state and provincial tenders. Mines and oil companies also demand approval paperwork before you set foot on site. Holdfast Sites handles both.
Federal cleanup grants to states, FY2023 to FY2026. States then hire contractors through their own tenders, which is where Holdfast Sites looks.

I run a cleaning company. Winning contracts took more of my week than doing the work. So I built Holdfast.
