Tendering for Government Contracts

Small Business Ad

The way in

Where are opportunities advertised?

Opportunities for contracting with the public sector may be advertised in a wide variety of places. Contracts below the EC limit (around £99,000) are often advertised in trade journals, increasingly on websites, and occasionally in national or regional newspapers. However, although encouraged to do so, some public-sector organisations do not advertise low-value contracts at all. You may benefit from identifying the appropriate individual in an organisation, through the contacts listed at the end of this guide, and giving them information about your business.
