Help & Support for Summarised Search

What is Summarised Search?

Summarised Search is a new feature on Find a Tender (FTS) that gives you the latest view of a procurement. This is different from Notice Search, which returns individual notices published at a specific point in time. Summarised Search allows you to see the current stage of a project or contract rather than a list of historical events.

There are three ways to search:

• Opportunities: Use this to find procurement pipelines and active tenders. Each result represents one procurement process.
• Contracts: Use this to see awarded contracts and their current status. Each result represents one contract.
• Commercial Tools: Use this to find frameworks, dynamic markets and dynamic purchasing systems that public sector buyers use to buy goods, services and works. Each result represents one lot or part within a commercial tool.

Built on PA23 Data

This product is only possible because of the improved data quality introduced by the Procurement Act 2023 (PA23). The data published under PA23 is more structured and covers more of the commercial lifecycle, enabling more advanced search tools.

Please note the data scope:

• Opportunities and Contracts: These searches only cover procurements published from 24th February 2025, when the PA23 came into force.
• Commercial Tools: This search combines PA23 data with a legacy dataset to help users find active, older frameworks set up under previous legal regimes.

Summarised Search is not the official record. These searches bring together information from all notices published for a procurement to give you a current, summarised picture. It does not constitute the official publication under the Act. To see the detailed publication under the Act, or for information relating to other legal regimes, please use Notice Search.

How the data is compiled

The data in FTS is published using the Open Contracting Data Standard (OCDS), an open data standard for publishing machine-readable data about public procurement. In OCDS, each procurement gets a unique identifier, called an OCID, that links together all the notices published at different stages of that procurement, from planning through to contract implementation.

Procurement notices are usually published one at a time to record a specific event. For example, a Tender Notice (UK4) advertises an opportunity, and a Contract Award Notice (UK6) records the award decision made.

To provide a current-state view, Summarised Search uses a standard feature of OCDS called a compiled release - this is where the data from individual notices is bundled into a single up-to-date record per procurement. This means that when a procedure is updated - for example, when a tender is cancelled or contract is awarded - you always see the most recent information in one place, rather than having to look through multiple historical notices.

Example: Visualising a compiled release

Targeted interventions for better usability

While the majority of Summarised Search is a direct reflection of raw data published by contracting authorities, in specific cases fields have been calculated or derived to improve how you filter and sort the data. Without these targeted calculations, search results can often be misleading due to how notices are legally required to be published.

For example, buyers are not legally required under the Procurement Act 2023 (PA23) to publish a Contract Termination Notice for smaller (below-threshold) contracts. Without this closure notice, the raw data will show these contracts as “Active” indefinitely.

To provide a more accurate picture, Summarised Search applies the following logic once a below-threshold contract passes its maximum end date.

• Contract Status: The status is automatically updated to “Closed”.
• Reasons for Closure: This field is set to “Below-threshold assumed completed”.

These interventions are designed to help you find the right information quickly. Field definitions and calculation methods are fully documented in the following ‘About’ sections.

Technical access

If you are a developer or advanced data user, full notice data is available in OCDS JSON format via the Find a Tender API.

About Opportunities

The Opportunities search shows planned procurements and active tenders under the Procurement Act 2023 (PA23). Each result represents one procurement process (OCID).

How to use this search

• For Suppliers: Find upcoming bidding opportunities for public sector contracts. You can build market intelligence, such as tracking preliminary market engagement events in your sector.
• For Buyers: Search for procurement pipelines to identify opportunities to work collaboratively.
• For Citizens and Civil Society: View procurement plans in the areas you care about, such as by sector or contracting authority.

About Contracts

The Contracts search shows awarded contracts and their current status under the Procurement Act 2023 (PA23). Each result represents one contract.

Contracts for the establishment of commercial tools (such as the setting up of a framework agreement) are excluded from this search, but subsequent call-offs are included as these represent actual contracts for goods, services or works.

Additionally, please note that Summarised Search does not reflect proposed contract modifications (where the UK10 Contract Change Notice was published in advance of the modification) as we cannot verify whether proposed amendments were ultimately executed.

How to use this search

• For Suppliers: Track upcoming contract expiration dates to identify future bidding opportunities early. You can review the historical contract value and scope of work to help plan your pipelines and support your own competitive bids.
• For Buyers: Use market insights from other contracting authorities to inform your own procurement strategies. This allows you to map market capability, such as identifying active suppliers in your sector by looking at who wins contracts under specific CPV codes.
• For Citizens and Civil Society: View awarded contracts in the areas you care about to help you understand how public money is being spent and who it is being spent with.

About Commercial Tools

The Commercial Tools search shows frameworks, dynamic markets and dynamic purchasing systems that public sector buyers use to buy goods, services and works. Each result represents one lot or part within a commercial tool.

Unlike the Opportunities and Contracts searches, this search combines newer Procurement Act 2023 (PA23) data with a curated legacy dataset gathered from framework providers. This ensures you can still search and find older, active commercial tools established under previous legal regimes alongside new ones published under PA23. This dataset does not provide a fully comprehensive list of commercial tools under previous legal regimes. If you manage a commercial tool let under PCR15 which is available for other contracting authorities to use, you can add a new tool or amend an existing tool by contacting us.

How to use this search

• For Suppliers: Identify upcoming commercial tools that you can apply to join. This is particularly helpful for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) looking to find and secure suitable long-term public sector opportunities.
• For Buyers: Find active, pre-competed routes to market from across the public sector. This search saves you time and money by helping you identify existing commercial tools that are available for your organisation to use.
• For Citizens and Civil Society: View up-to-date information on commercial tools in the areas you care about, to see which agreements public bodies are using to purchase goods, services, and works.
