A formal notice published by a contracting authority to announce a procurement opportunity and invite suppliers to submit tenders. A Tender Notice typically includes key information such as the scope of the contract, procurement procedure, estimated value, eligibility requirements, submission deadlines, and instructions for accessing the procurement documents. Under the Procurement Act 2023, the Tender Notice replaces the Contract Notice used under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 for most regulated procurements. Suppliers should review the Tender Notice carefully, as it provides the essential information needed to determine whether to pursue the opportunity and how to prepare a compliant tender response.
