Contracts Finder search: UK tenders and awards in one place

This page is for teams who want a search-first workflow on Contracts Finder-style data: filter by sector, value, and deadline, then pair it with Find a Tender so above-threshold work does not slip past. The companion Contracts Finder guide explains how the official portal works if you need context first.

Listings refresh daily from official UK procurement sources. For pipeline analytics and awards, add procurement analytics or contract award tracking.

What is Contracts Finder?

Contracts Finder publishes UK public sector opportunities from central government, NHS, local authorities, and other public bodies. It includes both above-threshold notices (also on Find a Tender) and below-threshold contracts that don't appear on FTS. For many SMEs, Contracts Finder is where most relevant opportunities live.

Limitations of Contracts Finder alone

• • No saved searches or email alerts on the official site
• • Above-threshold notices also appear on Find a Tender – you need both
• • No analytics, award tracking, or competitor intelligence
• • Manual checking across sectors and regions is inefficient
