Comments

In February 2015 the Cabinet Office launched a new version of Contracts Finder as a beta service. This service provides a search facility for public sector procurement contracts in England. Similar services are available for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland (though the NI service requires registration).

Cabinet Office has separately made available a static archive of data from the earlier version of Contracts Finder, covering the period from February 2011 to February 2015.

Information posted to Contracts Finder (past and present) is generally re-usable under the Open Government Licence but some contract records contain exceptions and are therefore non-open.
