Objectives of the portal

The objectives of Supply2.gov.uk are:

  • To be seen by public sector buyers and suppliers as the 'first portal of call' for those advertising or seeking below-threshold public sector contract opportunities, typically worth under £100,000.
  • To provide an easy-to-use portal uniting buyers and suppliers in a single location.
  • To open up the lower-value public sector contract opportunities market to as wide a range of businesses as possible.
  • To enable businesses, particularly small ones, to access central and local government's below-threshold (sub-OJEU) contract opportunities, typically worth under £100,000.
  • To provide public sector buyers the opportunity to identify a wider range of potential suppliers more easily, both locally and nationally.
