How to Find UK Government Contracts in 2026

Finding government contracts used to mean checking half a dozen portals every morning. Here's how to streamline your search. ## The UK Government Portal Landscape The UK procurement ecosystem is spread across several portals: - **Contracts Finder** — the main portal for contracts above £12,000 - **Find a Tender** — for contracts above the procurement threshold (approx. £138,000) - **Sell2Wales** — Welsh Government and public sector bodies - **PCS Scotland** — Scottish public sector contracts - **UKRI** — research and innovation grants ## The Problem with Manual Searching Each portal has a different search interface, different filter options, and different data formats. A typical procurement manager spends 2–3 hours per week just checking these portals — time that could be spent on bid writing. ## How Minted Tenders Helps Minted Tenders aggregates all of the above (plus US portals) into a single feed.
