New public procurement law (The Procurement Act 2023) came into force on 24 February 2025. The legislation requires suppliers to be registered on the Central Digital Platform (Find a Tender) for all contracts above £30,000 (including VAT). The Council will require a suppliers Unique Identification Number from the Central Digital Platform before they can award any contracts to them, therefore the Council urges suppliers to register. Please follow this link for guidance on the registration process.
