Contracts Finder is used by all non-devolved public sector contracting authorities to publish information about contracts over certain thresholds (£10,000 in Central Government and £25,000 in the wider public sector and the NHS). It is also used by Public Sector Contractors to advertise opportunities in their supply chains.
The OpenTender platform – run by the Government Transparency Institute – collects, transforms and publishes contracting data from 35 jurisdictions: 27 European Union (EU) member states, EU Institutions, Georgia, Iceland, North Macedonia, Norway, Serbia, Switzerland, and the UK. The data come from Tenders Electronic Daily (TED) and from national procurement portals.
