Supply2.gov.uk launched in June 2006 and is the official UK lower-value contract opportunity portal. It was created by the Government to reduce the barriers facing smaller firms competing for public sector contracts, enabling small businesses to grow and prosper.

Three-month free national trial

The free trial allows smaller firms to gain visibility of opportunities valued at less than £100,000 nationwide, with the aim of getting them more involved in government projects. To benefit from the free trial, you must register before 31 July 2008.

Benefits of using Supply2.gov.uk

Register at www.supply2.gov.uk to benefit free from:

• Daily email notifications of public sector contract opportunities relevant to your business
• Access to London 2012 Olympic subcontracting opportunities
• Promotion of your company to the public sector market
• Online contract search facility
• Resources to assist you when tendering
• Market intelligence

The above are general benefits of registering on Supply2.gov.uk. Normally, registration provides free access to contracts within a local location, specified during registration. For example, inner or outer London.

However, by registering before 31 July 2008, you can receive the above benefits with daily notification of opportunities nationwide for three months.

After the three-month free trial, access will revert to the local location selected during the registration process.
