What contract finder pro does

Contract Finder Pro is operated by J4L Group Ltd as a private software and advisory business for suppliers pursuing public-sector contracts in the UK and Ireland. It consolidates procurement opportunities and supports bid qualification, market analysis, and response development for organizations ranging from SMEs to large enterprises.

Its platform-plus-modules architecture centers on CFP Core, a cloud-based tender-monitoring service that aggregates 200+ UK and Ireland portals and more than 2 million live and historical contracts. Core provides personalized alerts, competitor and buyer analysis, and framework tracking. Tender Ninja adds question extraction, knowledge retrieval, generative bid drafting, source-level traceability, and answer scoring; CFP Analytics provides eight dashboards over more than 5 million contracts and 6,000 buying organizations.

Revenue comes primarily from recurring annual subscriptions, supplemented by add-ons. Listed Core plans are £690 per year for Basic, £990 for Professional, and from £1,960 per year for Enterprise with 3+ users, plus VAT; a 14-day trial, monthly billing options, self-serve registration, inside sales, and support-led onboarding address both low-touch and higher-value accounts. The company reports 1-10 employees, no disclosed external funding rounds, and no management-team information in the supplied data.
