Tenders, easier to find

Active, awarded and EV charging tenders each have their own list, with tabs for what is being bought. Filters now take several choices at once and show how many tenders each one finds, including buyer, value, location, vehicle type and funding programme.

Every tender card gives you the status, our one-line summary, the buyer, the region, the value and when it last changed, so you can scan a list quickly.

See Active tenders, EV charging tenders and Awarded tenders.

What’s changed, on every tender

When a buyer publishes a new notice, the tender page now opens with what changed: a new deadline, added lots, new documents or an award. You no longer have to compare notices yourself.

More on what’s changed on a tender.

Awards and the suppliers behind them

Every award is now in one searchable list, with a month-by-month chart. Concessions and framework places are counted separately, so the totals mean what they say.

Supplier pages are new too. See the tenders a supplier has been awarded, the buyers they work with and the frameworks they are on.

See every award, or find an organisation.

Contracts: what ends when

Contracts is a new section built from councils’ own contracts registers. Everyone sees the headline figures and the contracts ending soonest. Pro lists every contract with its end date, the months ahead by contracts ending and the suppliers holding the most, so you can plan for the renewals coming up.

Open Contracts.

The weekly briefing

Every Monday, the briefing sets out the week: what closes in the next two weeks, what was published, what changed and what was awarded, with a chart and a map. Pro adds what each notice says that’s easy to miss, your saved-search matches and contracts ending soon.

Read this week’s briefing, or see how the briefing works.

Regions

The Regions page is now a map of the UK. Open a region to see its open tenders, its recent awards, its buyers on a map and the public funding there.

Explore the regions.

Funding programmes

Programme pages show what each funding programme pays for and who it funds, from the official source, beside the tenders it pays for. LEVI’s page lists the allocation to every authority, with GOV.UK as its source.

See the funding programmes, or LEVI’s page.

Ask Eve

Eve is our tender assistant. Ask her about any UK EV charging tender, buyer or award, and she answers from our live data, with a table or a chart when it helps. She can help with a bid too: what a tender scores on, and a library of your own answers to reuse. A free account can ask her 10 questions a day, and Pro has no limit.

Eve is in preview and can get things wrong. Check the source before you act on an answer.
