Definition
Find a Tender is the UK government's central digital platform for public procurement. Since the Procurement Act 2023 took effect on February 24, 2025, all notices under the Act are published there, and suppliers register there with GOV.UK One Login to get a unique Public Procurement Organisation Number (PPON) and store their core supplier information.
Contracts Finder is still used for some notices on procurements that began under the old Public Contracts Regulations 2015. From January 1, 2026 the main UK thresholds, VAT included, are £135,018 for central-government goods and services, £207,720 for other authorities and £5,193,000 for works.
