Applying
When you apply for a contract you must have a clear business plan and provide certain information which shows that you have:
- the capacity to deliver the contract
- sound finances
You must also comply with any appropriate health and safety and legal requirements we may set.
Register on Find a Tender
All suppliers must register on Find a Tender - the government's central digital platform. You'll be able to save your business details on the site, that can be shared with contracting authorities like us for multiple contract opportunities.
You'll be given a share code once you've signed up, and you'll be able to download the supplier information file you submit.
If you want to, you can watch a short video that tells you how to register on Find a Tender, or read the fact sheet about the platform.
Important information about our e-tendering system:
We've changed the system that you use to upload tenders. You will need to register for an account with Delta.
