  1. Open the official notice

    Every notice above links to its page here and to its record on Find a Tender or Contracts Finder. The documents there are the tender; this page is not.
  2. Check the dates

    Note the deadline and any clarification or expression-of-interest date. Forecast and planning notices have no bid deadline yet.
  3. Check the route to market

    A framework or dynamic purchasing system call-off needs a place on that agreement first; an open procedure does not.
  4. Look at who won before

    The winners above show who has delivered this kind of contract recently and for which buyers.

Read the buyer’s own notice before you spend a day on any of these.
