The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 set out a number of rules for publication of public procurement notices on the Contracts Finder portal. For SME's and voluntary or charitable organisations (VCSEs) Contracts Finder offers easier access to public contract opportunities under the WTO GPA procurement thresholds necessitating publication on Find A Tender (FTS).
The notice types found on contract finder are:
1. Early engagement
Inviting feedback from industry on early procurement ideas (also known as ‘pre-procurement dialogue’).
2. Future opportunities
Information on procurements that are likely to be published in the future. The notice can be used to indicate when existing frameworks, or approved supplier lists or contracts are going to be available to be bid on.
3. Opportunities
Live invitations to tender. Used to seek to seek supply chain partners to bid for open public sector opportunities, or to tender for
subcontracts in support of delivering a public sector contract, or for lower value contracts.
4. Awarded contracts
Procurement opportunities that have been awarded to a supplier/suppliers.
