Every contract opportunity is advertised on its e-tendering portal, In-Tend, where suppliers must register before bidding. Lower-value opportunities also appear on Contracts Finder, the cross-government platform. Each year a published commercial pipeline report sets out contracting opportunities for the coming year on GOV.UK.
