E-tendering

All our tender opportunities are advertised on our website, as well as government recognised websites such as Contract finder, Find a Tender. This includes contracts that exceed the Public Contracts Regulations (PCR) threshold values.

We use a website called Xantive Tender Manager for all PCR tenders and for some tenders that fall below PCR thresholds. The instructions for completion opportunities to tender are submitted with the advert either through Contracts Finder or under our Tenders page on this website or other publications.

To use Xantive Tender Manager, firstly, register your company and you will be issued with a username and password. If you have registered and have forgotten your username and password, please click on the forgotten password link on the homepage.

Once you have obtained your log in details, please complete your tender application in full. To do this, click on the 'view current opportunities & notices' link and select the opportunity you wish to complete. Then follow the instructions on the screen.

Quotation Manager

We use a website called Xantive Quotation Manager for our under-threshold quotation requests of select lists of pre-registered suppliers or invited suppliers. The instructions for completion of the quotation are usually contained within the request for quotation that the system generated for the selected suppliers.
