What is the Find a Tender service?

At 11pm on 31 December 2020, the Find a Tender service replaced Tenders Electronic Daily (TED) in the UK public procurement process. UK buyers who previously published OJEU notices on TED will now do that on Find a Tender. Notices published before this change are still on TED.

You can use Find a Tender to search for high-value opportunities or awarded contracts, typically over £139,688 including VAT but varying in some cases, across the whole of the UK.

Requirements to publish on other services are unchanged, and you can find information on contracts over £12,000 including VAT (or £30,000 outside central government) on:

  • Contracts Finder for England and other non-devolved parts of the UK
  • Public Contracts Scotland for Scotland
  • Sell2Wales for Wales
  • eSourcing NI and eTendersNI for Northern Ireland

Public procurement regulations

Public procurement regulations for England, Wales and Northern Ireland:

  • The Public Contracts Regulations 2015
  • The Concession Contracts Regulations 2016
  • The Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016

Public procurement regulations for Scotland:

  • The Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015
  • The Concession Contracts (Scotland) 2016

Defence and security procurement is dealt with separately in The Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 which apply to the whole of the UK.

Review services

If you have any concerns about procurement practices, including late payment, you can contact a review service.

The role of the services is to:
