About Us

Porge is recognised and respected as a leading provider of accurate market intelligence for suppliers to the public sector.

We have created and maintained a bespoke data repository, specialising in UK Local Authorities, which enables over 1,000 Porge subscribers to access detailed information about emerging opportunities, updated daily, including Council contract renewals and brand new procurement initiatives.

As many Councils are now outsourcing for the first time, tracking contract renewals is only a small part of our service. As one subscriber to Porge has said: “They spot the twinkle in the eye of a Council”.

What makes us different?

  • Our information is uniquely forward looking: we accurately identify and alert our subscribers to emerging contract opportunities before any formal procurement starts, often 6 months in advance.
  • Our intelligence is detailed and tactical: our research and reports are specifically designed to help you target new sales prospects in receptive Councils and capitalise on this growth market.
  • Our company is refreshingly straightforward and easy to deal with: our reputation is based on a friendly personal service, quick response, expert knowledge and consistent results.

What our clients say...
