FAQ

Questions

How much does DTAD cost?
DTAD does not publish prices on its website; it offers a non-binding trial, per its home page on 21 October 2026. Ask DTAD for a quote. Raise Lens Pro costs £50 a month or £500 a year, with a free tier.
Does Raise Lens cover German tenders?
Yes, filtered to sustainability. Raise Lens monitors the German federal procurement publication service and the EU's TED among its European national systems, and keeps the notices relevant to its 32 sustainability sectors. It does not aim to list every German tender: notices outside those sectors are filtered out.
Does DTAD cover grants?
DTAD's home page describes public tenders and optional construction project information; it does not mention grants or funding programmes. Raise Lens lists grants, programmes and funders alongside tenders.
Can I use Raise Lens and DTAD together?
Yes. A firm selling across the German public sector may use DTAD for full tender coverage and award history, and Raise Lens for sustainability grants, international tenders and early signals. The Raise Lens free tier lets you test the overlap first.
