Public Sector Contracts
If your business is looking to grow, winning public sector contracts and discovering public sector tenders can open doors to reliable, long-term opportunities. Government departments, local authorities, NHS trusts, and other public bodies regularly advertise contracts for suppliers of all sizes, from small supply jobs to large-scale projects.
Regional Contracts and Tenders
Regional contracts and tenders are a key source of reliable, long-term work. These opportunities are published by regional governments, combined authorities, local councils, and public bodies across the UK, covering everything from small supply contracts to major infrastructure projects.
Select Central Buying Bodies and Frameworks
Identifying central buying bodies and frameworks is key. These organisations manage procurement for multiple public sector departments, councils, and agencies, and using their frameworks can simplify access to high-value opportunities.
Buyer and Supplier Portals & Marketplaces
When it comes to finding and winning contracts, not all opportunities appear on national tender portals. Many are managed through buyer and supplier portals, secure online platforms that connect organisations looking to buy with suppliers ready to provide goods, works or services.
Sector-specific portals and industry marketplaces
Many industries manage their own marketplaces and procurement systems that connect buyers directly with trusted suppliers.
If you want to win work in the public sector, construction, healthcare, technology, or utilities, these sector-specific platforms are where key buyers post opportunities first.
Private sector tenders, RFPs and corporate procurement
Some of the most valuable and long-term business opportunities are found in the private sector — through corporate procurement teams, Request for Proposal (RFP) systems, and supplier marketplaces run by major organisations.
Trade bodies, industry associations and membership networks
it’s not always about searching portals or databases, sometimes, it’s about being in the right network.
That’s where trade bodies, industry associations, and membership networks come in. These organisations often sit at the centre of their sectors, sharing early insights, hosting supplier introductions, and publishing member-only contract leads and tenders.
Chambers of Commerce, business networks & local enterprise partnerships
Whether you’re targeting public or private sector work, your local Chamber of Commerce, business networks, and Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) can be some of the most effective and often underused routes to discovering new opportunities, collaborations, and leads.
Trade shows, conferences, supplier days and B2B events
Some of the best business opportunities don’t appear on portals at all, they happen in the room.
Trade shows, supplier days, and B2B networking events are where contracts begin, partnerships form, and suppliers meet the people who make the buying decisions.
Company websites, procurement pages & supplier registration
Some of the best business opportunities are hiding in plain sight, right on the websites of the companies you want to work with.
Many organisations, from public sector bodies to large corporates, maintain dedicated procurement pages and supplier registration portals. These pages are the gateway to tenders, RFPs, frameworks, and supplier opportunities that often never appear on national portals or marketplaces.
Social media and professional networks
Social media and professional networks are where deals and introductions happen.
Platforms like LinkedIn, Twitter, XING, and industry-specific forums allow businesses to connect directly with buyers, decision-makers, and partners. Used strategically, these networks can help you uncover opportunities before they appear on formal procurement platforms.

Preferred Supplier Lists (PSLs) and frameworks
PSLs and frameworks are the mechanisms many organisations, both public and private, use to pre-qualify trusted suppliers. Once on these lists, your business can be invited to tender or pitch for multiple projects without repeating the full qualification process each time.
Subcontracting and Supply Chains
Large organisations, whether in construction, engineering, healthcare, or IT, often rely on trusted subcontractors to deliver specialised services. By positioning your business as a reliable partner, you can access tenders, frameworks, and projects without being the primary contractor.

Local authority, housing associations, social housing and community procurement
For many businesses, the local public and community sector is a rich source of opportunities. Local authorities, housing associations, and social housing providers regularly procure services, construction, maintenance, and consultancy, often through targeted tenders, frameworks, and supplier engagement initiatives.
