How to find tenders in the UK

UK public sector tenders are published across several official sources. Find a Tender (FTS) carries above-threshold notices, Contracts Finder covers lower-value central government and wider public sector opportunities, and many councils and NHS bodies also post to their own portals. To find tenders reliably you either check each source on a schedule, or use an aggregated feed like this one that pulls the official notices into a single, searchable list updated daily.

Searching well matters as much as searching often. Buyers describe the same work in different ways—one authority tenders for “grounds maintenance”, another for “landscape services”—so keyword-only searches miss opportunities. Effective tender search combines service keywords with buyer types, locations and value ranges, then watches for procurement-stage cues such as framework call-offs, DPS lots and pipeline notices that signal future demand before the formal tender lands.

Finding a tender is the start, not the finish. The suppliers who win consistently qualify quickly—checking deadline feasibility, incumbent history and buyer behaviour—then focus bid effort where the evidence supports it. Use the live listings below to scan what is open right now, and set up alerts so new matching notices come to you automatically.

How to use these listings

Start with the cards above: shortlist opportunities by buyer and deadline, then check whether the procurement looks like a framework call-off, a DPS lot activity, or a standalone tender. That triage step improves bid quality and reduces wasted effort.

Stop searching for tenders. Start receiving them.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find tenders in the UK?

UK tenders are published on official portals: Find a Tender (FTS) for above-threshold notices and Contracts Finder for lower-value central government and public sector contracts, alongside council and NHS portals. TenderLedger aggregates these official sources into one searchable directory, updated daily, so you can find tenders without checking each portal separately.

Can I find tenders for free?

Yes. The official portals—Find a Tender and Contracts Finder—are free to search, and this directory is free to browse. Paid platforms like TenderLedger add the workflow on top: cross-source search, daily alerts, buyer intelligence and competitor tracking, so relevant tenders find you instead of the other way round.

What is the difference between Find a Tender and Contracts Finder?

Find a Tender (FTS) publishes above-threshold procurement notices, while Contracts Finder covers central government contracts over £12,000 and wider public sector contracts over £30,000. Many suppliers need both, which is why an aggregated feed saves time.

How do I find local council tenders?

Council opportunities appear on Contracts Finder and Find a Tender, and often on regional portals too. Search by authority name or filter by location, or set up TenderLedger alerts for the councils and regions you serve so new local tenders arrive automatically.

How do I find tenders in my industry?

Combine service keywords with CPV-style categories and buyer types, and remember buyers phrase the same requirement differently. TenderLedger's saved searches and sector pages—construction, IT, healthcare, facilities and more—help you cover the variations without missing notices.
