  • Check your local council's procurement or supplier pages, as many publish upcoming opportunities and supplier events.
  • Read the full tender pack before deciding to bid, including evaluation criteria, word limits and mandatory requirements.
  • Note the clarification deadline as well as the submission deadline, and leave time to review your draft.

Before you submit, run through our tender submission checklist or read our bid and tender writing guides.
