Where our tender data comes from

• Contracts Finder OCDS search API (lower-value notices)
• Public Contracts Scotland OCDS API (Scottish notices, incl. lower-value ones; duplicates of Find a Tender notices removed). Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

Matching rules

A notice matches a trade if any CPV code starts with one of the trade's prefixes, or its title, description or lot text contains a keyword. To keep results relevant, keyword matches are ignored for supply-only notices (no works, maintenance or site-service CPV code, or a title about supplying goods or materials) and for consultancy-only notices.
