Winning Contracts
Find Tenders For FREE
Do you know where the EU and UK Government advertise their contracts? 

Would you be interested to find out?

Did you know this information is available for FREE?  
We've shared our 3 step plan with you so you can find Government contract opportunities for FREE.  ​
At Naomi Clews Consultancy, we are all about saving money, securing business and developing skills. We use our 17 years of Government contract know how to help our clients win more UK Government  contracts. 

Unfortunately, we can't help everyone who contacts us. We are busy delivering on our existing client promises and the sheer number of Government contract opportunities published every day is mind blowing.

To provide more context, the UK Government procurement spend was £17.4 billion in May 2021. Now that's a lot of money! 

It's easy to find Government contracts once you know where to look. But, you also need to know what you are looking for. Otherwise, you may waste a lot of your time in the process.

We don't want that. Your time is money. L
et's dive straight into our 3 step plan to finding Government contracts for FREE.  ​


Step 1 - What is a Notice? 
​

A Notice is a published notification that communicates the Government's intention. 

A different Notice is published for different purposes. The 4 most commonly used Notices are:

  • Prior Information Notice
  • Contract Notice
  • Contract Award Notice 
  • Corrigendum Notice

What is a Prior Information Notice?  
 
A Prior Information Notice is more commonly known as a PIN. This Notice type is published to advertise a future Government contract opportunity. 

What is a Contract Notice? 
 
A Contract Notice is published to advertise a Government contract opportunity is live. Its job is to communicate: 

a) who the buyer is, 
b) what they want to buy, for whom, and why,
d) how to apply, and
e) the closing date for applications. 

What is a Contract Award Notice? 

 
A Contract Award Notice is published to communicate the award of a Government contract. It lists names of successful suppliers, who will receive a contract. It does not list unsuccessful suppliers. 

What is a Corrigendum Notice?  

A Corrigendum Notice is published to communicate a change to the process. It must provide an explanation or additional information to the previously published Contract Notice. 

Now you understand the purpose of each Notice you are ready to find them. 


Step 2 - How to find a Notice
​

EU Government Notices are advertised in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) and on the Tenders  Electronic Daily (TED) website. 

The UK left the EU on the 31st January 2020. A transition period ended on the 31st December 2020.

The UK Government advertises Notices on
 their official websites: 

  • Contracts Finder, and
  • Find a Tender.

All 3 websites are FREE to access, open public registers.  ​


Are private sector Notices published?
​ 
​

Unlike, Government, the private sector is not under any legal obligation to publicly advertise Notices. 

However, in an attempt to level the playing field for SMEs (and increase the visibility of Government supply chain opportunities) awarded Government suppliers are required to advertise sub-contracting opportunities on the Contracts Finder and Find a Tender websites. 

The aim is to provide SMEs with the opportunity to supply the UK Government as a subcontractor. In our experience, SMEs would prefer to supply the Government directly. 


Step 3 - Register for FREE Notice alerts
​ 

All Notices must contain the relevant Common Procurement Vocabulary (CPV) code. This makes it easier for you to find the Notices that are most relevant to you.

You can register on the Contracts Finder and Find a Tender websites for FREE. You can use the CPV code to create a search. You can use more filters to further tailor your search to your requirements.

Once complete, you can save your search and request a daily electronic alert of all Notices that match your search criteria. Each time a Notice is published, you will receive an email directly to your inbox. This service is provided completely FREE of Charge.
