- Guide Challenging a contract award decision: standstill, remedies and legal challenge Yes, you can challenge a UK public contract award, but the clock starts the moment the award notice is published. This guide explains the eight-working-day standstill period, the 30-day deadline for court proceedings, automatic suspension, and what remedies a court can actually order.
- Guide How frameworks and call-offs work A framework is a pre-approved supplier list; a call-off is a contract awarded under it, either directly or through a further competition. This guide explains how suppliers get onto frameworks, how work actually flows through them, what open frameworks and dynamic markets change, and the traps to avoid.
- Guide Bidding as a consortium or subcontractor Smaller firms that cannot win a large contract alone can still take part: by forming a consortium or joint venture, joining under a lead supplier, or being a named subcontractor. This guide explains how each route is treated in a bid, how buyers assess combined capacity, how exclusion and associated persons work, and the paperwork involved.
- Guide Debarment and the debarment list: what suppliers need to know Under the Procurement Act 2023, exclusion is a buyer keeping a supplier out of one procurement; debarment is a central listing that applies across all of them. This guide explains the mandatory and discretionary grounds, who maintains the published debarment list, how self-cleaning works, and how to reduce your exclusion risk.
- Guide Dynamic markets and DPS, explained A dynamic market is an open list of qualified suppliers that buyers run competitions through, introduced by the Procurement Act 2023 to replace the older Dynamic Purchasing System. Suppliers can apply to join at any time, unlike a closed framework. This guide explains how they work and how to get on them.
- Guide How bids are scored: award criteria and MAT Public buyers score bids against published award criteria, usually splitting the marks between quality and price. This guide explains weightings, scoring scales, how price is scored on a relative model, the Most Advantageous Tender test that replaced MEAT, where social value fits, and how moderation reaches a final mark.
- Guide How NHS Contracts Are Awarded: The Provider Selection Regime Explained Since 1 January 2024, most NHS health care contracts are awarded under the Provider Selection Regime, not the Procurement Act 2023. This guide explains what the PSR covers, its three selection processes, how it differs from the rules for goods and non-clinical services, and where suppliers find live opportunities.
- Guide How to find tender opportunities Public tenders in the UK are published on Find a Tender and Contracts Finder, and the devolved portals for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. This guide covers search technique, CPV codes, email alerts, the difference between frameworks and open tenders, and how to read a notice in five minutes.
- Guide Selling technology to government: G-Cloud and the technology frameworks G-Cloud is the UK government's framework for buying cloud hosting, software and support, with approved suppliers listed in an online catalogue that public buyers search. This guide explains how technology firms get listed, how buyers make direct awards, the other Government Commercial Agency technology frameworks, and where the Procurement Act 2023 changes the process.
- Guide The National Procurement Policy Statement, explained The National Procurement Policy Statement (NPPS) sets the government's strategic priorities for public procurement. The Procurement Act 2023 requires most contracting authorities to have regard to it when they buy. The current statement, in effect from 24 February 2025, frames three priorities around value for money: economic growth and SMEs, social value, and commercial capability.
