Find a Tender: UK public procurement notices

Find a Tender (FTS) is the UK government's central service for publishing public procurement notices, hosted at find-tender.service.gov.uk.

Find a Tender launched on 31 December 2020, replacing Tenders Electronic Daily (TED) in the UK following the end of the UK's participation in the EU procurement system.

For procurements started from 24 February 2025, Find a Tender publishes both above and below threshold notices for new UK procurements, except below threshold in Scotland. For procurements that started before that date, Find a Tender carries only above threshold notices (usually over £139,688 including VAT). Contracts Finder continues to hold below threshold information for England and other non-devolved territories from that earlier period.

For 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2027, the main thresholds (including VAT) are £135,018 for central government goods or services, £207,720 for sub-central government goods or services, £5,193,000 for works contracts, £5,193,000 for utility works, £415,440 for utility goods or services, and £663,540 for other light touch contracts. GPA-aligned thresholds are refreshed every two years to reflect the UK's WTO Government Procurement Agreement obligations. Light touch thresholds are updated separately when needed.

Below threshold notices sit on Contracts Finder for England and other non-devolved territories, Public Contracts Scotland for Scotland, Sell2Wales for Wales, and eSourcing NI and eTendersNI for Northern Ireland.

Since 24 February 2025, above threshold notices outside Scotland cover the full contract lifecycle, from pipeline through award to termination.

Above threshold Scottish procurements are published on Find a Tender. Below threshold Scottish notices remain on Public Contracts Scotland.
