About TenderTracker UK
Making UK public sector procurement accessible
Overview
What Is TenderTracker?
TenderTracker UK (tendertracker.co.uk) is a UK-based search engine for public sector contracts. It aggregates contract notices from the government's two official procurement portals, the Find a Tender Service (above-threshold notices since 2021, and below-threshold ones under the Procurement Act 2023) and Contracts Finder (procurements started under the earlier regulations), into a single index refreshed hourly, with coverage from June 2021 to the present. The platform offers full-text search, email alerts, buyer and supplier profiles, and procurement statistics. Every tool is free with an account; browsing directories and contract pages needs no account at all. TenderTracker is operated by Simon Carroll and Jake Dickinson, trading in partnership as TenderTracker UK, based in Leicester, England.

Why we built it
Our Mission
TenderTracker UK was built to solve a simple problem: finding UK public sector contracts shouldn't be difficult. Government procurement data is spread across multiple portals with different interfaces and search capabilities, making it time-consuming for businesses to find relevant opportunities.
We aggregate contracts from the official UK government sources into one fast, searchable platform, so you can spend less time searching and more time winning work.
What we do
What We Do
Aggregate Data
We pull contracts from Find a Tender and Contracts Finder daily, combining high- and lower-value opportunities in one place.

Full-text search with filters for value, region, category, buyer, and status. Find what matters to your business quickly.
Email Alerts
Set up alerts for your criteria and get notified when new matching contracts are published to the portals.
Reliable Data
Our automated sync keeps data fresh and accurate, with integrity checks to ensure contracts are up to date.
Where the data comes from
Our Data Sources
All contract data comes directly from official UK government procurement portals:
Find a Tender Service
The UK government's central digital platform for public procurement. It has carried above-threshold notices since 1 January 2021 and, since 24 February 2025, below-threshold notices for procurements under the Procurement Act 2023 too.
Contracts Finder
The UK government's portal for lower-value contracts under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. It still carries procurements started under those rules, such as their contract awards, and its archive of earlier opportunities.
What we do not cover. Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales and eTendersNI are separate services and are not indexed here. Scottish procurement runs under its own rules, so lower-value Scottish contracts usually appear only on Public Contracts Scotland; Welsh and Northern Irish buyers publish on Find a Tender but may also use their national portals. If you sell into those nations, check their portals alongside TenderTracker.
