Tender Portals &
Frameworks
In Northern Ireland, 60% of public sector work is never advertised on the open market. It is awarded directly to companies who are already on a "Framework" or "Select List." If you aren't on the list, you can't win the work.
We specialize in getting you "Tender Ready." We set up your profiles on the key procurement portals used by Councils, Housing Associations, and Government bodies so you get alerted to opportunities before your competitors do.
The "Hidden" Market
Many contracts under £30k are awarded via "Quick Quote" systems. Only companies registered on eTendersNI or Constructionline get invited to quote. We ensure you are visible when the buyer clicks "Search."
Our Framework Services
1. Portal Registration & Setup
We take the pain out of the paperwork. We register your company on:
- eTendersNI & eTenders.gov.ie: The main hubs for NI and ROI public sector work.
- Constructionline (Gold/Silver): Essential for construction and facilities management contracts.
- Find a Tender (FTS): For larger UK-wide contracts.
2. SSIP Accreditation Support
Most frameworks now require a "Safety Schemes in Procurement" (SSIP) accreditation like SafeContractor or CHAS. We help you gather the evidence (Risk Assessments, Training Records) to pass these audits first time.
3. Opportunity Monitoring
Stop checking websites every day. We set up automated "CPV Code" alerts so you get an email the moment a relevant tender goes live. We filter out the junk so you only see contracts you can actually win.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Constructionline worth it?
If you want to work with main contractors (Heron Bros, Farrans) or the Education Authority, yes. It is often a mandatory pass/fail criteria.
Do you work with ROI tenders?
Yes. We cover eTenders.gov.ie (Republic of Ireland) as well. We understand the different requirements for tax clearance and insurance in the South.
How much does it cost?
Portal setup is usually a one-off project fee. Monitoring is a low monthly retainer. It pays for itself with the first contract you find.
