| *IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR SUPPLIERS* PA23 One Year On Refresher: How to be Fully "Bid Ready" as a Supplier on the CDP |
The Procurement Act 2023 (PA23) has now been in force for almost 1 year. PA23 legislated for provision of a Central Digital Platform (CDP) to facilitate the publishing of required notices and documents in accordance with the new regulations. An enhanced Find a Tender service (FTS) was launched by the UK Government on 24 February 2025, which is the CDP for public procurement. FTS is where all UK contracting authorities publish information relating to procurement. It is also the place where identifiers are recorded and/or issued and for suppliers to input their commonly used information. It is a fully integrated digital platform where noticing, sign-in and registration, supplier information all work together to support public sector procurement.
Find a Tender is free to use for everyone. There are no charges and you should not pay to view opportunities in the public sector
Notices for competitions published on eTendersNI where a PA23 notice is required will also be published on FTS. Where PA23 notices are not required eTendersNI opportunities will only be published on eTendersNI. PA23 notices for competitions from all other areas of the UK will be published on FTS. If you intend to bid for above threshold or notifiable competitions in any part of the UK you will need to register on FTS and complete your organisations details. You will then share your FTS/CDP organisation details with the Contracting Authority running the competition for which you are tendering via a share code.
Please refer to our previous notification relating to the CDP (Latest News item dated 4th June 2025) for more information and also the attached guide produced by the UK Government which provided help on:
• Registering on FTS/CDP
• Completing your organisation details on FTS/CDP
• Sharing your CDP details for a tender
NOTE: The Central Digital Platform (CDP) is a UK Government online service, it is not directly associated in any way with Construction and Procurement Delivery (CPD). |
