We offer our contracts through the YORtender online portal. This is used by us and 22 Councils across the Yorkshire and Humber Region.
Becoming a supplier
If you are a sole supplier or any size business and you are interested in doing business with us, you can find our open tenders on YORtender. You need to register first.
Register to use YORtender
Before you can access YORtender you will need to register your supplier details on ProContract.
It is free to register and you can have up to 5 individual users registered on your profile.
Please try to avoid duplicate supplier registrations wherever possible.
Using YORtender
All of our tender opportunities require some additional information to be submitted using YORtender. Many of the tenders that we advertise contain a YORtender contract reference number, which can be used to access relevant supporting documents and further information regarding the tender.
There will be a deadline date by which you will need to submit your tender. During this time you will have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have using YORtender.
Once the deadline has passed we will collate all the responses received for an evaluation panel to go through and evaluate. Responses will be evaluated on a balance of price and quality and this will be detailed in the tender documents.
We will then notify the successful and unsuccessful applicants via the YORtender portal, offering feedback if you have been unsuccessful.
YORtender is an externally hosted system and you should contact their support team if you have issues using it ProContractSuppliers@proactis.com.
Other opportunities
We may ‘call-off’ established frameworks including CCS, YPO and ESPO for example. We do not hold approved supplier lists.
Additionally open opportunities over £25,000 are also advertised on the government's Contracts Finder which collates potential opportunities from all public bodies from a range of e-procurement portals. Contracts Finder is recommended if you are searching for a range of business opportunities.
