Regional Contracts and Tenders.

Focusing on regional contracts means you can access tenders that are highly relevant to your services, often giving you an advantage over competitors who only monitor national portals.
Why Regional Contracts and Tenders Matter
Regional public sector opportunities offer businesses a number of benefits:
Local focus: Many tenders prioritise suppliers within the region, making it easier to deliver projects efficiently.
Reliable income: Regional contracts often involve longer-term or repeatable projects, providing stability for your business.
Growth potential: Starting with regional tenders can be a stepping stone to winning larger, national contracts.
Enhanced credibility: Securing regional public sector work demonstrates your reliability to both public and private clients.
Even just a few regional contracts can significantly impact your business’s growth, revenue, and reputation.
Key Regional Portals
Monitoring the right portals is critical for finding relevant tenders. Some of the most important regional portals include:
England
Local Authority Portals. Each council often has its own procurement portal for contracts, such as the London Tenders Portal.
Combined Authorities. Regions like Greater Manchester, West Midlands, and Liverpool City Region manage some of their own tenders for transport, infrastructure, and public services.
Scotland
Public Contracts Scotland. Central hub for Scottish government, council, NHS, universities, and police contracts.
Wales
Sell2Wales. Covers Welsh government, local authorities, NHS Wales, and other public bodies.
Northern Ireland
eTendersNI. Portal for Northern Ireland government departments, councils, and other public sector organisations.
These portals provide essential details such as deadlines, contract scope, CPV codes, and submission requirements, helping your business identify the tenders that matter most.
Sector-Specific Regional Opportunities
Some sectors maintain their own regional portals to help businesses target relevant tenders:
Healthcare: NHS Supply Chain and Atamis.
Construction & Engineering: Constructionline, CompeteFor, Fusion21, and SCAPE.
Technology & Digital Services: Regional G-Cloud opportunities and Digital Marketplace portals.
Defence & Security: MOD Defence Sourcing portals and frameworks.
By monitoring sector-focused regional portals, you can focus on the contracts that best match your expertise and capabilities.
