## About this tender

Cabinet Office wishes to engage a supplier to monitor the publication of tenders and awards on Contracts Finder in order to improve the quality of data.

Legislation requires UK bodies to publish procurement and contracting data on two key websites; Tenders Electronic Daily (OJEU) for procurement above the EU publication threshold and to Contracts Finder for the majority of non-devolved public procurement above certain low-value thresholds (set out in Part 4 of the Public Contracts Regulations).

Similar portals exist for publication of opportunities by devolved functions in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. There are a large number of regional/specialist portals where opportunities are also advertised.

### Areas of interest
