Registering on the SEC portal
To participate in this and any future SEC tenders or applications, you will be required to register your company details on this website. https://in-tendhost.co.uk/southeastconsortium/aspx/Home .

At the point of registration, suppliers are asked to include a single point of contact in their organisation for their response to the procurement.
SEC will not be responsible for contacting the supplier through any route other than the nominated contact. The supplier must therefore make any changes relating to the contact promptly via the SEC portal. When registering, please make sure the publish e-mail address field is completed accurately.

When you have completed registration, you will then be able to access the various tender areas of the portal. You will then be informed by automated email once documentation has been published. You can then access the documents by logging into the website again and going to the 'my tenders' area of the website. Again, click on the relevant tender and access the documents by clicking on the red button 'view documents'.

Complete Tender Coverage

Following Brexit, the new official Find a Tender system has been developed by UK Government to detail all public procurement contract opportunities expected to be over £122, 976 for Central Government or £189,330 for the remainder of the public sector e.g. NHS contracts, Local Authority contracts, Housing Association contracts. Publishing requirements for all of the public sector are in place to ensure transparency, fairness and open competition.

All UK public sector opportunities under these values, but over £10,000 for central government or over £25,000 for other public sector organisations, are still required to be published on Contracts Finder. Scotland, Wales and NI also have their own dedicated sites: Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales, eSourcing NI and eTendersNI.

Complete Tenders have centralised and consolidated all of this information into a single, easy to use platform that is updated hourly with all new opportunities.
