Alternative to Tussell
Arcadium Data compared with Tussell
Tussell: A UK company (founded 2015) that sells public-sector procurement data and insight. This page sets what they publish next to what we publish. Every cell on their side links to the public page it comes from and was checked on 2026-10-25. Where we could not find a fact it says "Not published", which means we did not find it on the pages we checked, not that it does not exist. Companies change their pages; if something here is out of date, write to [email protected] and we correct it.

Checked 2026-10-25. Prices are copied as published, in their currency, before tax. Our prices are on pricing; our tender history starts in October 2025 for TED and the UK, so if you need earlier years tell us before you switch.
Where we differ
- Prices are on the pricing page, in euro, from a free key; no sales call is needed to try the data.
- EU notices (TED and national portals) and UK notices come in one schema, with company domains and register ids on the winners.
- An API and an MCP server for AI assistants, documented in OpenAPI.
- Company-level data only: no names, emails or phone numbers of people.
What Tussell offers that we do not
- A longer track record in UK public procurement (company founded in 2015).
Coverage by country and history depth: coverage. Sources and licences: data sources. Our datasets hold company-level data only, no personal data.
