A simple, secure and efficient means for managing tendering and quotation activities reducing the time and effort required for both buyers and suppliers.

Suppliers participating in tender opportunities are required to register on the Central Digital Platform (CDP). Through the CDP, suppliers can maintain their core organisational information and share this directly with contracting authorities when responding to relevant procurement opportunities.

As part of the registration process, suppliers will be issued with a unique Public Procurement Organisation Number (PPON). This identifier should be provided to the contracting authority to enable the secure sharing and verification of supplier information via the CDP.

For guidance on registration, please refer to: Suppliers: How to register your organisation and first administrator on Find a Tender in three easy steps

There is already a range of information and resources about the new regime on the Transforming Public Procurement landing page including a series of ‘Knowledge Drop’ training videos with tailored versions designed specifically for suppliers, including SME and VCSE suppliers.

If you would like to discuss any aspect of the new Act please contact the dedicated Transforming Public Procurement helpdesk at procurement.reform@cabinetoffice.gov.uk.
