- Guide Getting started: selling to the public sector The UK public sector buys almost everything, from catering to software, and publishes its contract opportunities on Find a Tender and Contracts Finder. This guide explains who buys, where tenders appear, what the value thresholds mean in practice, and the first three steps a small firm should take.
- 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 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 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 How to read a contract award notice: contract value, award criteria and CPV codes explained A contract award notice is the public record of who won a contract, at what value, and how it was classified, published on Find a Tender under the Procurement Act 2023 before the contract is even signed. This guide explains what 'contract value' means, how CPV codes work, where notices are published, and how suppliers use awards for market intelligence.
- Guide Social value: what buyers actually want Social value questions ask what your contract will contribute beyond the specification: jobs, skills, environmental improvement, community benefit. They routinely carry ten per cent or more of the marks. This guide explains where the requirement comes from, what scores well, and the generic promises that score nothing.
