The Supplier Locator Service is hosted on wired-gov.org which sends personalised alert emails to potential buyers in government departments and the wider public sector who have signed up to the service.

The UK government and public sector spend in excess of £220 billion on goods and services from SMEs every year.

The Supplier Locator Service provides a platform for SMEs and suppliers to communicate directly with buyers and decision makers across the entire government and public sector community, who can request quotes directly from suppliers. The service provides a way for SMEs to bid for lower value contracts that do not need to go through a tendering process. Larger value contracts are also available through the platform.

There is a registration fee, details of which are provided after expressing your interest in signing up.
