How do we advertise what we want?

From 24 February 2025, the new Central Digital Platform (CDP) was launched for registration when the Procurement Act 2023 came into force.

Any suppliers or contractors who wish to submit to bids for any future opportunities must be registered on the platform. To find out how to register, please go to - Buyers and Suppliers: How to use the Central Digital Platform, the enhanced Find a Tender service.

What is the Central Digital Platform (CDP)?

The CDP is an online platform where public procurement notices are published. It will make it easier for suppliers to find and bid for contract opportunities. It is free to access, and all suppliers must be registered on it to participate in new tenders after 24 February 2025.

For more information go to central government’s CDP fact sheet

How do I register on the Central Digital Platform?

Suppliers must register via the Supplier Information and Registration System Interface (SIRSI) on the CDP. Failing to do so will prevent you from participating in new tenders after 24 February 2025.
