This will be used by public sector bodies to publish details of new procurement opportunities. This has not yet been introduced, but it is intended that this will be accessed via the 'Find a Tender' website on GOV.UK

This will be a single place for suppliers to register and upload key business information typically requested by Progress Housing Group and other public bodies.

Features will include reduced duplication and resources used to tender for opportunities, as well as the ability to establish custom searches and receive alerts. It will be free to access, and suppliers must keep their information current to benefit fully from the platform.

The platform will be where we and all other public sector bodies will publish various notices relating to tenders and contracts.

Please note that Progress Housing Group will continue to use the Housing Procurement Portal to advertise its notices, receive bids from suppliers and manage its procurement activities; the Central Digital Platform will be an additional website where notices are published.

You should seek to understand the main changes, register/submit your business information on the Central Digital Platform when this becomes available and identify how your organisation can contribute to national and local procurement priorities and social value objectives.
