## Where councils advertise

Councils must publish a notice on Find a Tender for any open competition worth £30,000 or more including VAT. Many run the bid itself on their own e-tendering portal, so register on that portal well before the deadline.

[Procurement Act 2023, section 87(opens in a new tab)](https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/section/87)## Before you bid

Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (Find a Tender). It is free, and buyers ask for your share code with your bid. Charities can register with their Charity Commission number.
