Contract Search
Access an unrivalled database of defence and security contract opportunities
Whichever level of DCI subscription you choose, DCI's Contract Search is a comprehensive searching facility which gives 24/7 access to DCI's unrivalled database of defence and security contracts, allowing users to easily identify opportunities from within the UK, ROI, Europe or worldwide, dependant upon the subscription they have selected to receive.
DCI's Contract Search facility allows you to conduct a more precise search for contract opportunities using a variety of advanced options including keywords and phrases, location, type and value of opportunity, defence agency and date range, as well as by using industry sector and CPV code hierarchies.
Enhancements to DCI in 2011 have seen our online search tool develop from a regular contract finder to an advanced and interactive contract search solution which, with the inclusion of interactive mapping technology, contract flagging and the enrichment of contract information with Estimated Annual Value (EAV) data, allows for faster searching and retrieval of intelligence.
DCI enhancements in 2011 include:
DCI Interactive Maps
With DCI Interactive Maps you can see the latest contract results on an interactive map which uses integrated cluster technology to illustrate the volume of contracts matching your search criteria - locally or globally. DCI Interactive Maps provides a powerful method of analysing opportunity trends. Explore the volume and geographical location of contract opportunities matching your alert profile, flagged contracts and online search results, using both basic and advanced search options.
Estimated Annual Value
The Estimated Annual Value (EAV) feature is a unique, forward-thinking tool and DCI is the first defence information service of its kind to provide this highly valuable information. EAV provides an estimated annual contract value. For example, a contract with a value of £3 million over three years has an EAV of £1 million. Calculating the EAV can mean that a contract whose total value may have originally appeared too high for an SME to tender for is actually within reach.
Contract Flagging
Contract Flagging is an important service component of particular use to SMEs. The new functionality was developed to highlight contracts which are below high-value procurement thresholds and therefore considered to be SME-friendly.
