Each one is checked against GOV.UK or legislation.gov.uk. Follow the link and read it for yourself.

Winning now means registering

Since 1 April 2026, a buyer must have your Central Digital Platform registration and unique identifier before it publishes the details of a contract you've won: from £12,000 for central government and £30,000 for most other public buyers. Registration is free.

SI 2026/360, new regulation 36A
No pre-qualification for smaller contracts

For most below-threshold contracts, buyers can't shortlist on a separate suitability stage. Everyone who meets the basics can tender, so your quality answers and evidence decide it.

Procurement Act 2023, section 85
30-day payment, all the way down

Public contracts carry 30-day payment terms, and the same terms are implied into public sub-contracts. Worth knowing whether you bid direct or as a subcontractor.

01Supplier information checklist

The six sections of the Central Digital Platform, your answers ready to enter, a document tracker with renewal dates, and a gap list in priority order.

02Policy set

Health and safety, equality, data protection, modern slavery, environment, carbon, quality, continuity, anti-bribery and one for your sector. Tailored, not template.

03Answer library

Model answers to the questions buyers ask most, written from your evidence, with word counts and every unproven fact flagged for you to check.

04Case studies

Two of your contracts written up in a long and a short format, with numbers, ready for your client to approve.

05Social value statement

Commitments you can actually keep and evidence, led by good jobs and skills, the two outcomes in central government's newest Social Value Model.

06Bid/no-bid scorer and calendar

A five-minute score with hard gates, and a 12-month calendar of renewals, seasonal tender windows and a pipeline tracker.

Check and adapt, not legal advice. Every document is a draft built from what you give us. You check every fact before you use it, because statements in a tender can become part of the contract.

Questions

Asked at the counter

We only go for small contracts. Do we need this?

Probably more than larger firms do. Since 1 April 2026 you must be registered on the Central Digital Platform before a buyer can publish the details of a contract you've won, from £12,000 (central government) or £30,000 (most other public buyers). And for most smaller contracts there's no pre-qualification stage, so the quality of your answers decides the result.

Isn't registering on the platform free?

Yes, and you do it yourself. What takes the time is gathering the right information and keeping it current. The pack gives you every answer ready to enter, the documents behind them, and a calendar to keep them up to date.

Do we really need a carbon reduction plan and a modern slavery statement?

Not by law at your size. Carbon reduction plans are required for central government contracts over £5 million a year, and the statutory modern slavery statement starts at £36 million turnover. Some buyers still ask, so the pack includes short voluntary versions and tells you plainly which items are a legal must and which are a buyer's ask.

What do you need from us?

The completed questionnaire, any policies you already have, your insurance schedules, your last two years of accounts, and the details of two or three contracts you're proud of. If you have little written down, that's what the pack is for.

Will it win us contracts?

No one can promise that, and we don't take success fees. The pack means you start each tender with your evidence ready, so you can spend your time on the parts that score.

Is this legal advice?

No. Everything is a draft for you to check and adapt. Where a fact can't be confirmed from your documents, we highlight it rather than guess.

Do you use AI?

Yes, for first drafts. A person reviews and edits everything we deliver, and we only use tools whose business terms don't train on your content.

Why won't you help with water-sector bids?

To avoid any possible conflict of interest, we don't support bids to water or sewerage companies or other water-sector bodies. Your pack is yours to use for any bid you choose.
