The national tendering platform, eTenders, will be changing on 15 May 2023.
All users can log on and access the new eTenders platform from 15 May onwards, and new competitions will be published on the platform from 22 May.
All users will need to re-input some details, as well as adding additional details, when activating their account on the new platform. A step-by-step guide to logging onto the new platform for the first time is available for businesses here, and for contracting authorities here.
The previous eTenders platform will continue to be available for all users until May 2024, to enable all in progress competitions to be completed on the current platform - these will not migrate to the new platform.
It is important to note that no concluded (closed) or cancelled competitions on the current platform will be migrated to the new platform
As a result, access to historic data will be available to all users until an alternative access method is made available – no data except registration details and arrangements such as established Frameworks, DPS and Qualification systems will migrate to the new platform, to enable new drawdowns to take place from 22 May.
You will find targeted information for businesses and contracting authorities on dedicated webpages below.
