UK public procurement is scattered across four main portals. We aggregate them all, normalise them to one standard, and let you search the lot at once.

Contracts Finder
Lower-value government and non-devolved public sector notices, from early engagement and future opportunities to tenders and awards.

Sell2Wales
The Welsh Government procurement portal for opportunities, buyer profiles, contract results, pipeline notices and open contracting exports.
How to find tenders
Start with a keyword and narrow to exactly what you need. It's a proper research tool, not just a keyword box — and it's completely free:
- Search by buyer or supplier, not just keywords
- Filter by value, region, stage & framework
- CPV code search with autocomplete
- A plain-English AI summary on every notice
What does the public sector buy?

Open standards. Real, downloadable data.
Every notice is published as structured OCDS 1.1 — the global open standard for procurement data — and enriched with CPV industry codes, ITL region geography, value bands, AI summaries and SME-suitability flags.
- Download any record as structured OCDS JSON or low-noise Markdown — one click, no key required.
- Enriched, not just mirrored — CPV, ITL-3 geography, value bands and AI summaries added on top.
- Refreshed every 3 hours so live tenders are genuinely live.
