CloseA list of places where new contracts for tendering are advertised.
You can find out about possible contracts through:
- local voluntary and community sector networks and publications
- direct contact with the purchaser such as the government department, local authority, primary care trust, other voluntary and community organisations and businesses - many of these now make their contract opportunities available online and you can often sign up to be alerted to contracts that may be of interest to you
- specialist magazines or local newspaper adverts, including daily supplements to the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU), where some contracts have to be published
- inspection reports from organisations such as the Audit Commission, Commission of Social Care Inspection and Ofsted - as well as alerting you to established contracts, these reports can provide useful information on how existing contracts are performing and the criteria used to measure their performance
- the official contracts website of the Office of Government Commerce, where tender opportunities are listed.
Approved providers
In some cases, only organisations on approved provider lists are invited to tender.
