Sell2Wales can email you whenever suitable tenders have been added by buyers.
Using the site, you can subscribe to receive e-mail alerts of tenders specific to your company’s:
- Products and services
- Size
- Location
Selecting the right categories is the most important step in ensuring you’re electronically notified of suitable Welsh public sector tenders. You can add as many codes as you like when registering and review them in your profile if you’re not being alerted about the right tenders in Wales.
Adding Top Level Categories, Strict vs. Fuzzy Matching
You can manage your Strict vs Fuzzy setting by editing your profile, going to the Users tab and editing a specific user.
If you set it to strict, you will only receive alerts that match your categories exactly. This means that if you choose a top level category, you will not receive notices that only include sub-categories.
If you set it to fuzzy, you will receive alerts that match your categories, their sibling categories or their sub-categories. This may mean you receive a lot of notices.
Using the 'My Daily Alerts History' in My Sell2Wales, you can also view the historical details of all notices that have been emailed to you over the past 12 months.
To make sure that you receive the e-mail messages you want from Sell2Wales, you should add us to your Address Book or your Safe Senders list.
Some programs/services allow you to add an entire domain to the list of safe senders. This would allow you to receive all emails coming from, for instance, the Sell2Wales.co.uk domain (i.e. support@sell2wales.co.uk).
For those programs that do not offer an option to add domains, you will need to add e-mail addresses individually to the list of safe senders. The two most commonly used are bounces@sell2wales.co.uk and support@sell2wales.co.uk.
Instructions are given below for several commonly used e-mail programs or services:
- From the Tools menu, select Options.
