Gobrador: the public tenders that fit your company, every hour
Gobrador is a SaaS that reviews Spain's public tenders every hour and tells each company which ones fit its activity, region, budget and requirements — and which ones to skip, and why. It is product 001 of Quince con Ochenta, the studio I co-founded; I am its co-founder and product designer.

The problem
Thousands of euros go out to public tender in Spain every day, but finding the contracts that actually fit your company means wading through official portals, procurement codes and requirements. Most small businesses and freelancers never get to see the opportunities that were made for them.
How it started
Gobrador began as a tool to flag potentially suspicious public contracts. While building it, we discovered something more useful: helping companies find opportunities in that very same public procurement data.
What it does
- Reviews public tenders every hour using official data from the Spanish Public Sector Procurement Platform (PLACSP).
- Builds a radar for your company in about two minutes — no need to know CPV codes. You choose your activity, your region and whether you hold ROLECE classification.
- Sorts every tender with a traffic light: fits, worth reviewing, or discard — and explains why.
- Lets you explore the market: who buys, how much they publish and which companies win in each sector and region.
In numbers
As of October 2026, Gobrador has analysed more than 1.3 million tenders from over 22,000 public bodies, and its database covers more than 167,000 companies. The Basic plan starts at €19 a month, with a 14-day free trial and no card required.
