The embeddable tender search widget
The Tender Navigator widget is the public tender search embedded on a partner's website with one code block. Visitors search live tenders by keyword, country and classification code without an account, see a preview of the notices found, and are invited to create a free Tender Navigator account on the partner's co-branded page to unlock full details.

What a visitor sees
On the partner's page, the widget shows a search form: keywords, a country, and CPV, NAICS and UNSPSC code fields, in the partner's colours and with the partner's logo where configured, marked "Powered by Tender Navigator". A search returns a preview of the live notices found. Each shows facts from the notice: a ring with the days left to bid (in the compact layout, the same fact in words), the title and a description excerpt with the searched keywords highlighted, the deadline, the publication date, and the New and Deadline soon tags when they apply. Nothing in the widget scores or evaluates a tender; see Reading Pre-search results.
Clicking a notice expands a limited preview in place. The full notice, and the further tenders found, are unlocked by creating a free account: the widget's Create a free account action opens Tender Navigator's co-branded registration page for that partner, with the tender you were looking at remembered. See Registering through a partner page.
What it does not do
- It does not require a login or set cookies for the visitor.
- It does not evaluate tenders; evaluation needs a filter on an account.
- It does not send the partner your search or your personal data. Tender Navigator records only that a registration came through the partner.
For partners: what can be configured
The Tender Navigator team configures a widget per partner: branding (logo, accent and other colours, corner radius, font), a default country, the language, the layout, the number of results shown, and which call to action the widget offers. Where a partner's configuration is set centrally, the partner's own page cannot override it, which protects the partner's attribution.
The widget is an isolated frame that sizes itself to its content, so the host page's styles cannot break it and it cannot affect the host page. The install is a single code block provided by the team.
