what about the lower value contracts?

Our close relationship with public sector organisations allows us to supplement the OJEU tenders we publish with many lower value tenders sometimes referred to as 'below threshold tenders' not published in the European Journal. We publish a wide range of lower value tenders including Construction Contracts, Electrical Contracts, Transport Contracts etc.

where do the tenders come from?

Many of the tenders are sourced directly by us, either from the procurement websites we provide for the public sector or from our in-house tender sourcing team. We also include all of the tenders published in '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) - formerly known as OJEC.

what types of organisations publish tenders?

Most of our tenders are Central Government Tenders, Local Council Tenders, MOD Tenders, NHS Tenders and tenders published in the Education, Transport and Emergency Services sectors. In addition to public sector tenders, utility organisations involved in Power Generation, Water, Oil and Gas 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 tenders 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 and lower value tenders by individual geographical regions within the United Kingdom.
