A BD workflow, start to finish
A concrete weekly pass for a business development team selling climate services into public and corporate buyers. Timings are honest estimates from real use, not best cases. The persona summary sits at Raise Lens for business development teams; this page is the mechanics.
Setup, once (20 minutes)
Build one saved search per business line. A search is a filter set: sectors, countries, record types, value band, delivery mode. Say your firm does adaptation consulting in Northern Europe and off-grid energy delivery in East Africa; that is two searches, two URLs, each shareable with the relevant lead.
Topographic services for monitoring flood protection works at Fersioua Centre, Ksar Sghir
AGENCE DU BASSIN HYDRAULIQUE DU LOUKKOS · MA
Morocco's Bassin Hydraulique du Loukkos agency is procuring topographic survey services to monitor flood protection works at the Fersioua centre in Ksar Sghir, Fahs-Anjra province. It suits local surveying and engineering consultancies with field topographic capacity, not climate-tech product firms.
Building flood vulnerability diagnostics for private, public and professional buildings - joint procurement
COMMUNAUTE DE COMMUNES DE LA PLAINE DIJONNAISE · FR
This is a joint procurement for vulnerability diagnostics of buildings (residential, public, professional) to flood risk, conducted by three French intercommunal authorities under a flood-risk management programme (PAPI). Bidders should be engineering/consulting firms with expertise in flood-risk assessment, building vulnerability analysis, and multi-site diagnostic studies.
Request for quotation for Research Quantifying Climate-Induced Loss and Damage
UNFPA · ZA
UNFPA seeks research quantifying climate-induced economic and non-economic losses and damages, particularly in vulnerable regions. Bidders should have expertise in climate-impact assessment, loss-and-damage economics, and data synthesis for policy support.
a Brazilian strategic philanthropy fund launched (Brazil/Amazon)
A Brazilian mining-sector foundation published news of a new strategic philanthropy fund, 'Banzeiro', launched at the 3rd Jornada Go!Blended meeting. It may be relevant to Amazon-focused socio-environmental and nature initiatives seeking grant or philanthropic capital, though no amount, criteria, or application window is stated.
A Belgian spin-off raises €5M for perovskite-silicon solar cells
A Belgian solar spin-off has closed a €5 million funding round to develop perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells. Founders and investors tracking capital flowing into next-generation PV manufacturing may want to note it as a named, sector-relevant raise.
Monday: tender triage (15 minutes per search)
Open the saved search, sort newest first. For each new record, the card gives you type, sector, country, deadline, value band and the two-sentence summary. Dismiss the misses; the button hides them from your view permanently. Save the fits. A typical week for a well-tuned search is 5 to 20 new records, of which 1 to 3 survive triage.
Duplicates were already collapsed before you arrived: one notice, one card, however many portals republished it. That alone is a meaningful fraction of the time this workflow saves.
Also Monday: signal pass (10 minutes)
Switch to the signal stream with the same sector and country filters. You are looking for three signal types: telegraphed RFPs, budget announcements, supplier registrations. These precede formal notices by months. A budget announcement for coastal resilience in a country you deliver in is a prospecting call this week, not a tender response next year.
This is the half of the workflow no procurement portal offers, and it is where the earliness advantage compounds. See it live before judging: the stream is browsable on Free with type filters on Pro.
Thursday: deadline check (5 minutes)
Your dashboard holds saved records with fresh-activity flags. The weekly digest email covers the same ground if the team prefers inbox to interface.
What this replaces
The manual version is a rotation across portals per country, per multilateral bank, per framework programme, with your own deduplication and no signal layer. Teams tell us that rotation runs 3 to 6 hours weekly and still misses republications. This workflow is about 45 minutes on the same ground, plus the pre-procurement layer the rotation never had. Whether the feed underneath is fresh enough to trust: check the timestamps yourself at Last refreshed.
