where do the tenders come from?
Most of the invitations to tender are obtained from 'Tenders Electronic Daily' (TED). TED is a database of European tenders that forms part of the European Commission's 'Official Journal of the European Union' (OJEU) (formally known as 'OJEC').

what about lower value contracts?
Our close relationship with public sector organisations allows us to supplement the OJEU tenders with many lower value tenders sometimes referred to as 'below threshold tenders' not published in the European Journal providing our customers with the most comprehensive service possible.

what types of tenders are published?
All types of OJEU contracts are published from major construction contracts and I.T. contracts to supply contracts for everyday items like office stationery and cleaning fluids. Look at the tender category list on the right hand side of this page to find the broad range of OJEU and non OJEU contracts relevant to your business.

what types of organisations publish tenders?
Tenders are published by Central Government, Local Councils, MOD, NHS, Educational Bodies, Police, etc. In addition to public sector tenders, utility organisations also publish Official Journal tenders.

which geographic areas do the tenders come from?
In addition to tenders being published from within the UK and Ireland, European contracts are published from member states of the European Union. Not only can we provide you with EC tenders published from the countries of your choice we can also filter the OJEU tenders by individual geographical regions within the United Kingdom. For example if you are interested in TED contracts published in the North East of England or central government tenders in the South East we can filter your search so that you only receive the contract opportunities that are relevant.
