UK Contracts Finder Notices

Contracting processes and awarded contracts published on Contracts Finder, the UK government's notice service for public-sector opportunities and awards, taken from its Open Contracting Data Standard releases with buyers, suppliers, values, dates and CPV classifications as published.

PublishedOpen

Contracts Finder publishes opportunities and awards of UK public bodies, many of them below the thresholds covered by Find a Tender. The service exposes its notices as Open Contracting Data Standard (OCDS 1.1) release packages, which QinMetrics reads directly: one tender per contracting process (ocid), one contract per award, and organisations resolved from the parties block with their published identifiers (Companies House numbers, charity numbers, public-sector identifiers).

Releases published in the window are merged per process; a tender that was first published earlier appears with its latest fields. Values are kept in pounds sterling as published.
