Where every row comes from

The notices, as their publishers wrote them.

Read from Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales. Every row links to the publisher's own notice. The record is the UK's two national notice services, Find a Tender and Contracts Finder, plus the Scottish and Welsh portals, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales, read for every publication day from 5 Aug 2026 to 5 Nov 2026. A portal notice that also went to Find a Tender is counted once. Northern Ireland's portal has no open data route; its larger notices arrive through Find a Tender. Edition of 5 Nov 2026.

Published is the date on the notice. Read is the day BuzzBaboon first retrieved it. Last checked is the latest retrieval that still carried it.

One contract, one row. A tender, its changes and its award share one procurement id, so they are one row at the latest stage, with the tender deadline kept. A notice published on more than one service is one row with every link.

Open means open. A tender is shown as open only while its deadline is today or later, by your own date, not the date the record was built. A passed deadline is closed.

What it does not say

A record of notices, not a forecast.

What is not in the record: no supplier names, no value that the notice does not state, and no forecast.

Award notices name the winning supplier at source. These pages do not, and where a supplier's name is written into a title it is shown as [supplier]; the link to the notice still names it. A value appears only where the notice states one, in the currency it states, and it is often a framework ceiling rather than a spend. A contract end date is the initial term; extensions are on the notice where they are stated. Awards are those published in the window, so a contract awarded before it is not in the list of contracts ending.

Product families are matched from the notice's CPV codes by the same rule as the Buyer Book, and are approximate. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
