Why You Need Tenders Direct

The UK Procurement Act will change how the government, NHS, local councils and wider public sector buys goods and services from businesses like yours.

The Act comes into effect on 24 February 2025, introducing new tender notices and procedures. These changes will improve the overall bidding process, while making limited changes to how you find notices. As your complete tendering solution, Tenders Direct ensures you have the information and tools needed to tackle these changes.

Using Tenders Direct To Tackle The Procurement Act Changes

• Access all new notice types: Our system has been updated to import all new notice types, meaning no disruptions to our tender alert service. Customers will consistently have access to 100% of the market at all times, with no need for addons or enhanced subscriptions!

• Focus on relevant opportunities: With more notices coming out, filling up the search results in Find a Tender, our peer-review process becomes even more valuable. Because we review EVERY notice, we identify requirements not captured by CPV codes, and ensure your business is notified of relevant opportunities. As the UK’s most accurate tender alert service, we guarantee you will never miss a tender.

• Find more opportunities: We capture ALL tenders across the UK – including Below-threshold tenders and unregulated (sub-£30k) notices which don’t need to be advertised. We also provide you with access to every Irish tender and OJEU notice. Tenders Direct gives you access to more business opportunities than the Central Digital Platform (CDP) can.

• Manage your bids effectively: Our suite of tools helps you to organise your opportunities, plan bids strategically, and analyse the market. With Opportunity Manager, you can manage all your bids, for both public and private sector opportunities, from one place. With Integrate, you can connect Tenders Direct to other applications, allowing solutions to complement your existing workflows.
