Find a Tender Search & Monitoring

The Find a Tender Service (FTS) is the official UK portal for above-threshold public procurement notices. TenderLedger ingests FTS data so you can search, filter, and monitor Find a Tender opportunities alongside Contracts Finder in one place.

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
