Subscribe RSS FeedNew advertising thresholds were published on 1 January 2010 which will apply for two years.
These values dictate whether a contract (tender) will be advertised in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) and the website TED ie across the EU. Contracts with lower values are not required to be advertised in the OJEU – generally referred to as ‘lower-value’. Supply2.gov.uk is the national advertising platform for ‘lower-value’ opportunities. See blog – How to Find Public Sector Tenders for Free.
View the revised EU thresholds at supply2.gov or at the OGC
NB as shown in our Fit to Tender Checklist, often buyers will be checking that the tender contract value does not exceed 20-30% of the tendering company’s turnover (NB this is a guide, not a rule). Consider this when qualifying which tenders to go for.

I would like some information on tendering for business at schools / kids clubs / presentations,etc.
Thanks

Hi Jackie
If you are trying to find tender opportunities then supply2.gov is a good start as they show the ‘low value’ contracts. However you may also find leads by networking, word of mouth and by contacting schools in your area.
Then double-check that it’s right – see Win More Tenders by Qualifying (Part 1)
Once you decided to go ahead, the rest of this site has some good tips eg how to respond to tenders
Good luck!

Tony
