How they buy

UK public procurement is published centrally — Find a Tender for higher-value contracts and Contracts Finder for lower-value ones — alongside sectoral portals for the NHS, local authorities and devolved administrations. Framework agreements and dynamic purchasing systems account for a large share of spend, so much of the market is reached by getting onto a framework rather than by bidding for individual contracts.

Across the space & satellite notices we currently hold for United Kingdom, the most common form is the rfi, followed by open tender or invitation to bid. Each has its own rules — see RFP, RFQ and EOI compared and tendering procedures explained.

What qualifies you

Suppliers complete a standard selection questionnaire covering financial standing, insurance, health and safety, and relevant experience. Above-threshold procurements follow published procedures with defined standstill periods before award. Social value is a scored element in central government procurement, so a proposal that ignores it loses marks that are available to everyone.

Before committing effort, it is worth running a deliberate bid/no-bid decision and checking your submission against the responsiveness checklist.
