Plain-English guidance on routes, notices and next steps under the Procurement Act 2023. Free guidance only (not legal advice).

Why this exists

This tool is designed to reduce anxiety, not monetise it. It won’t guess. If an answer depends on facts you haven’t provided, it will tell you what it needs to know.
Built independently to keep Procurement Act guidance accessible.

What this tool uses

  • Find a Tender notice types and sequences (UK notices)

If you need formal certainty for edge cases (exemptions, special regimes), treat this as orientation and check your internal governance / legal advice.
