Find a Tender
Find a Tender is the UK's own above-threshold procurement register, run by the Cabinet Office — the post-Brexit replacement for the EU's OJEU/TED publication requirement in the UK. It covers contracts above the UK's own thresholds (not EU ones), and since the Procurement Act 2023 also carries pipeline and planning notices, not just tenders and awards.

Coverage
What Tender Radar collects from Find a Tender
- Above-UK-threshold contract notices, planning notices and award notices from Find a Tender, refreshed daily
- Below-threshold English public-sector notices aren't published here — see Contracts Finder on this directory for those
- Find a Tender itself hosts no tender documents — the links it carries point to each buyer's own e-sourcing platform, many of which require supplier registration to open
- The portal's own search and alerts aren't matched to your company's capabilities — that layer is what Tender Radar adds.

FAQ
Common questions
What is Find a Tender?
Find a Tender is the UK's own register for above-threshold public contracts, replacing the EU's TED/OJEU requirement in the UK after Brexit.
Can I read the full tender documents through Tender Radar?
Not currently — Find a Tender itself doesn't host documents, and we don't currently fetch them from the buyer platforms the links point to, many of which require supplier registration anyway.
How do I get notified about new Find a Tender opportunities automatically?
Tender Radar checks Find a Tender daily and matches new notices against your company profile.
