In short: Check recent results on GeBIZ, which shows award status for opportunities closed in the past six months, and use MOF's free data.gov.sg dataset for open tender awards since April 2021. Compare five or ten similar awards to find the price band, then price from your own costs.
You can check GeBIZ tender results in two places. On gebiz.gov.sg, the business opportunities section shows awarded results for opportunities that closed recently. For a longer history, the Ministry of Finance publishes Government Procurement via GeBIZ on data.gov.sg, a downloadable list of awarded open tenders with the agency, supplier and awarded amount.
Both are free. Used together, they tell you who wins the kind of work you want, which agencies buy it, and roughly what they pay.
Where GeBIZ award results appear
On the GeBIZ website
The GeBIZ getting started page lists “View Business Opportunities Awarded Results” alongside searching and responding to opportunities. According to MOF’s summarised supplier guide, current opportunities and the award status of past opportunities closed in the past six months can be found on GeBIZ, and registered GeBIZ Trading Partners can obtain detailed information on quotation and tender awards.
To look up a result:
- Go to gebiz.gov.sg and open the business opportunities search.
- Look for the awarded results view rather than the list of open opportunities. The exact menu labels change from time to time, so follow the GeBIZ getting started page if you cannot find it.
- Search by keyword, agency or reference number (the quotation or tender number shown on the original notice).
- Open the record to see its status and, where awarded, the supplier and amount.
If you are a GTP, log in first. You will see more detail than a public visitor.
If there is no result yet
After the closing date, agencies need time to evaluate bids, so a record can sit without an award for a while. If you bid and nothing has been published, contact the person named in the quotation or tender documents for an update rather than guessing.
On data.gov.sg
The Government Procurement via GeBIZ dataset is published by MOF. At the time of writing (October 2026), the listing describes it as all open tenders put out by government agencies since FY2021, with coverage from April 2021 to March 2026 and a last update on 26 April 2026. It has seven columns:
| Column | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Tender No | The GeBIZ reference, which you can search on GeBIZ |
| Tender Description | The title of the work |
| Agency | Which agency called it |
| Award Date | When it was awarded |
| Tender Detail Status | For example, awarded to a supplier |
| Supplier Name | Who won |
| Awarded Amt | The awarded value in S$ |
The dataset is listed as free for personal or commercial use under the Singapore Open Data Licence. You can download it as a CSV and open it in Excel or Google Sheets.
Two limits to keep in mind. First, it describes open tenders, so it will not give you a full picture of smaller quotations; use the GeBIZ site for recent quotation results. Second, it lags. Anything awarded after the last update will only be on GeBIZ itself.
How to use past awards to price future bids
Award data is the closest thing you have to a market price list for government work. Here is a simple method.
1. Build a shortlist of comparable awards
Download the dataset and filter the Tender Description column for words that describe your work. A printing firm might filter for “yearbook”, “printing”, “design and production” and “brochure”. A cleaning company might filter for “cleaning services” and “housekeeping”.
Then remove the awards that are not comparable: different scope, multi-year period contracts, or much larger quantities. Keep the ones that resemble the work you would actually bid for.
2. Read the scope behind each number
An awarded amount means little without the scope. For the awards you keep, search the tender number on GeBIZ and read the description and, where available, the documents. Note the quantity, duration and deliverables, so you can work out a rough unit price.
For example, if one school’s yearbook award was for a certain number of copies and pages, you can compare that with a similar school’s award and see whether the price per copy is broadly in the same range.
3. Look for the pattern, not one number
| What to look at | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Range of awarded amounts for similar scope | The band where agencies are actually awarding |
| Repeat winners | Who your real competitors are |
| Agencies that buy this work often | Where to focus your search and alerts |
| Award month | When the buying cycle tends to happen |
One outlier award tells you little. Five or ten comparable awards show you the band.
4. Price from your costs first, then check against the band
Work out your real cost and margin first. Then compare with the band. If you are far above, check whether you are over-specifying or whether the winners are delivering a lighter scope. If you are far below, check that you have not missed something in the requirements.
MOF’s supplier guide is clear that the lowest quote does not always win, and that suppliers should not undercut prices at the expense of quality and reliability. Agencies weigh quality alongside price, so a credible proposal at a fair price is the aim, not the cheapest number. Our first-timer’s guide to GeBIZ tenders explains the price-quality evaluation in more detail.
5. Track your own bids
Keep a simple sheet of every bid you submit: reference, agency, your price, the winning price and supplier once awarded, and any feedback. After a few bids, this becomes the most useful pricing reference you have.
What to do when you lose
If your bid was unsuccessful, write to the procuring agency. MOF’s supplier guide says the agency is obliged to explain why your bid was not successful upon your writing in. Ask specifically:
- Did the bid meet all critical criteria?
- How did it score on quality compared with the winning bid?
- Was price the deciding factor?
Feed the answer back into your next response. If the issue was a missed requirement, a compliance matrix is the simplest fix.
If you have concerns about how a procurement was run, the same guide says you can give feedback to MOF at mof_qsm@mof.gov.sg. For tenders covered by the Government Procurement Act, the Government Procurement Adjudication Tribunal is a formal route, to be used only after you have tried in good faith to resolve things with the agency.
Checking a specific award
Sometimes you just want to confirm a single award, for a reference or a case study. Search the reference number on GeBIZ. For example, the award for Chromatic Media’s first government contract, the S$7,140 design and production of Dunman Secondary School’s 2026 yearbook awarded on 5 August 2026, can be viewed on GeBIZ under reference MOESCHETQ26002326. The record names Chromatic Media Pte. Ltd. as the supplier.
At S$7,140, that contract falls in the quotation band, below the S$90,000 tender threshold and is the kind of award you would look up on GeBIZ rather than in the open tender dataset.
Using results to plan what to bid for
Award data is not only for pricing. It also tells you where to spend your limited bidding time.
- Find the agencies that buy what you sell. If the same few agencies award similar work every year, set up your searches and RSS feeds around their procurement categories and check their notices often.
- Spot the buying cycle. Schools, for example, may buy certain items at similar times each year. Sort the dataset by award date for your keywords and note when similar work tends to be awarded, then work back to when the notice was likely published.
- Match the indicative listing to past awards. MOF’s supplier guide points to the Listing of Indicative Government Procurement Opportunities, which shows procurements agencies are likely to run in the year ahead. If an item on the listing matches work that was awarded before, you already have a rough idea of scope and price.
- Size your bids sensibly. If most awards in your field sit in the quotation band, start there. Larger tenders may ask for Government Supplier Registration at a financial grade, which our registration guide explains.
