Supplier Portal

If you are interested in seeking business from Lincolnshire local authorities the information contained in this section should help you in this regard. As Procurement Lincolnshire operates as a strategic purchasing service, we do not keep an approved suppliers list but rather advertise and tender work as and when contracts are due to expire, or when new requirements arise. For a fuller description of how Procurement Lincolnshire operates please follow this link to ‘What we do’.

In order to participate in any contract opportunities that we may have available, please note that tender advertisements can be found on the following websites:

• For all contracts above the Official Journal of the European Union Thresholds, these opportunities can be found at the following web-site:

Tenders Electronic Daily (TED).  TED is updated five times a week with approximately 1500 public procurement contract notices from the European Union and beyond. Suppliers can browse, search and sort procurement notices by business sector, country, region and more. Suppliers are able to register free of charge for e-mail alerts in order to receive contract opportunities tailored to their interests. This website should be considered as a primary tool for suppliers interested in applying for contracts above the OJEU thresholds. For help on how to receive free email updates please refer to the attached in the downloads tab.

The following link provides an RSS feed of all current contract notices in the OJEU within Lincolnshire: OJEU Notices in Lincolnshire

• For contracts below the Official Journal of the European Union thresholds, tender opportunities can be found at the following web-site:

Contracts Finder Transparency in government procurement and contracting for all new central government contracts worth over £10,000 are now available online. You can access these free of charge on Contracts Finder, a new service on Business Link.Use Contracts Finder to access documents published under the governments transparency commitment.

• The Contracts Finder website is part of the coalition government’s measures aimed at making it easier for SME’s to find and apply for public sector contracts. Its use will be mandatory for central government departments and their agencies, plus the NHS. All these bodies will be obliged to publish contract opportunities on this site.
• Contracts are split out by low value opportunities: £10k to £100k; and high value opportunities: £100k+. A •flexible e-mail alert facility is available and the site has greater functionality than the old Supply2Gov website. This should be a key site for contract opportunities beyond Lincolnshire.

Source Lincolnshire. Source portals are a series of East Midlands-centric websites which provide free access to a diverse range of regional contract opportunities. Procurement Lincolnshire will replicate adverts placed on TED on the Source Lincolnshire portal - interested suppliers would only need to respond once. The Source Lincolnshire website may also be used for advertising small value contracts.
