Brexit Transition

Suppliers wishing to access public sector contract opportunities will need to access the new UK e-notification service, Find a Tender (FTS), instead of OJEU/TED. It is free and you do not need to register to search the site. Registration enables you to save searches, set up email alerts and “watch” notices. If you are already registered on Contracts Finder (or the Supplier Registration Service) you will be able to use the same login credentials for FTS. If you are not already registered and would like this enhanced functionality, register as a supplier on Contracts Finder now.

Find out more on the Find a Tender (FTS) portal        

These changes do not affect suppliers’ access to other domestic portals, such as Contracts Finder, MOD Defence Contracts Online, Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales and eTendersNI.
