Find a Tender search: live UK contract notices

The Find a Tender Service (FTS) is the official UK register for above-threshold procurement. TenderLedger ingests that feed so you can run a real Find a Tender-style search with filters, saved views, and email alerts — next to Contracts Finder for full UK coverage.

New notices are published continuously; listings in TenderLedger refresh daily so you are not working against stale exports. Read how FTS fits your process in the Find a Tender guide.

What is Find a Tender?

Find a Tender replaced the OJEU/TED system for UK procurement after Brexit. It publishes above-threshold notices (typically contracts over £138,760 for goods/services, or £4.5M for works). All UK contracting authorities must publish eligible opportunities there.

Limitations of Find a Tender alone

• • No saved searches or email alerts on the official site
• • Below-threshold contracts appear on Contracts Finder, not FTS
• • No analytics, competitor tracking, or award history in one view
• • Manual checking is time-consuming when you cover multiple sectors

How TenderLedger improves Find a Tender workflow

• • Find a Tender search with filters by sector, value, region, and deadline
• • Find a Tender alerts – email notifications when new FTS notices match your criteria
• • Combined view with Contracts Finder so you see above and below-threshold opportunities
• • Contract award tracking and competitor monitoring
