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 transport & logistics notices we currently hold for United Kingdom, the most common form is the open tender or invitation to bid, followed by rfi and dps. 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.

Transport and logistics procurement includes vehicle and fleet supply, freight and courier services, warehousing, port and airport works, and public-mobility projects. Service tenders often set service-level agreements, availability and penalty clauses, while supply tenders focus on specifications and delivery timelines. Price for the full contract duration, including maintenance where required.

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