Matched automatically by the notice's main CPV code, so a few may be near misses and some consultancy work filed under other codes won't appear. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. We don't copy named contacts from notices; follow the link for the buyer's own instructions. Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish buyers also publish on Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales and eTendersNI, which this list doesn't cover.
How to bid for public sector consultancy contracts
- Read the Consultancy Playbook. The Cabinet Office publishes the Sourcing and Consultancy Playbooks, which central government follows when it buys consultancy. They show what buyers are told to look for. Source: The Sourcing and Consultancy Playbooks (GOV.UK).
- Register on Find a Tender first. Under the Procurement Act 2023 notices are published on the central digital platform, and buyers must get confirmation that you have registered and submitted your core supplier information before you take part in a procurement. Source: Guidance: Central Digital Platform and Publication of Information (GOV.UK).
- Look for lots. Before publishing a tender notice, a buyer must consider whether the contract could be split into lots, and give reasons if it isn't. Lots can bring part of a large contract within reach of a smaller business. Source: Procurement Act 2023, section 18: duty to consider lots.
- Know your payment rights. Most public contracts include an implied term that undisputed valid invoices are paid within 30 days (exceptions include contracts awarded by schools and concession contracts). Source: Procurement Act 2023, section 68: implied payment terms.
- Go/no-go before you write. Read the full notice and documents, check you can meet the conditions of participation and the deadline, and walk away from poor fits. Our free go/no-go checklist helps. Source: Procurement Act 2023 guidance (GOV.UK).
