Tussell stops at the UK border. Duke covers 25+ countries with dedicated integrations into national portals across Germany, France, the Netherlands, Norway, Finland, the Baltics, and beyond. If your sales strategy includes any market outside the UK, Duke is the only platform that gives you a single unified view.
Duke's graph database merges buyer and supplier records across 300+ portals, resolving duplicates and revealing relationships that siloed datasets miss. When the same buyer appears on TED, a German state portal, and a municipal platform, Duke connects them into a single profile with full award history.
With 61M+ procedures compared to roughly 2M UK records in Tussell, Duke provides dramatically broader historical context. This depth powers better trend analysis, supplier benchmarking, and opportunity forecasting across markets rather than within a single country.
Tussell has built an exceptionally detailed picture of UK government spending. Their framework spend data, combined with FOI-derived budgets, gives suppliers insight into buyer purchasing power and upcoming renewal cycles that few platforms can match within the UK market.
For the UK market, Tussell excels at showing which suppliers win which types of contracts, their market share within specific categories, and how competitive landscapes have shifted over time. This is valuable competitive intelligence for UK-focused bid teams.
Tussell provides comprehensive tracking of UK government frameworks, including call-off spend data. If framework agreements are central to your UK sales strategy, Tussell's framework analytics offer granular visibility into spend patterns and upcoming renewals.
If you bid on public contracts in multiple European countries or need to compare procurement landscapes across borders, Duke is the clear choice. Tussell cannot help you outside the UK.
If your entire business is UK government sales and you care most about framework call-off data and buyer budget intelligence, Tussell has purpose-built tools for exactly that use case.
For teams building multi-market entry strategies or analysing procurement trends across Europe, Duke's 61M+ procedures and graph-based data model provide the analytical foundation that single-country tools cannot.
Duke is a pan-European procurement platform covering 25+ countries through 300+ data sources and 61M+ procedures. Tussell focuses exclusively on UK government spending data, offering deep analytics on supplier market share, framework spend, and buyer budgets within the UK. If you operate across borders, Duke gives you unified coverage; if you only sell to UK government, Tussell has strong domestic depth.
Duke has significantly broader European coverage. It integrates 14 German national sources, 18 French sources, plus portals in the Netherlands, Norway, Finland, the Baltics, and more. Tussell is limited to UK government data with no continental European depth.
Tussell covers UK below-threshold procurement via Contracts Finder and supplementary FOI data. However, it does not cover below-threshold opportunities in continental Europe. Duke covers below-threshold contracts across multiple European countries by connecting directly to national and regional portals.
