Calendar feed: tender deadlines in Outlook, Google Calendar and Apple Calendar

Tenderen gives every user a private .ics calendar feed with the deadlines of the tenders they have saved, with reminders 7 days, 1 day and 2 hours before each deadline. You subscribe to it once under Settings → Calendar Sync.

Best for: Anyone who plans their week in a calendar and does not want to miss a submission deadline.

What is in the feed

  • One event per saved tender with a deadline, titled "Deadline:" followed by the tender title.
  • All upcoming deadlines and the ones from the last 30 days.
  • Three reminders per event: 7 days, 1 day and 2 hours before the deadline.
  • Times in Norwegian time (Europe/Oslo).

Subscribe

  1. Copy the feed URL under Settings → Calendar Sync.
  2. Google Calendar: Settings → Add calendar → From URL, and paste the URL.
  3. Outlook: Add calendar → Subscribe from web, and paste the URL.
  4. Apple Calendar: File → New Calendar Subscription, and paste the URL.

Keep the link private

The feed URL contains a private token and works without signing in, so anyone with the link can see the deadlines of your saved tenders. If the link has been shared by mistake, regenerate it under Settings → Calendar Sync — the old URL stops working at once.

Limits

  • Read-only: changes in your calendar do not change anything in Tenderen.
  • Your calendar app decides how often it refreshes a subscribed feed, so a newly saved tender can take several hours to appear — Google Calendar is often the slowest.
  • Only submission deadlines of saved tenders are included, not question deadlines or your own milestones.
  • The feed is personal. Each colleague subscribes to their own.
