How to buy

You can buy from this agreement either by further competition or direct award. You don’t need to register to use the agreement. You can use our tools, for example, the government eMarketplace or eSourcing tool to find suppliers.

Further competition

You can run a further competition for suppliers to develop solutions or services to meet your specific requirements.

Customers can refine the Public Sector Contract call-off terms for a further competition, as long as this meets the Public Sector Contract Regulations. This gives you more flexibility when you define your requirements.

Further competition is the only route that allows you to add special terms to the call off terms. It also provides the option to run an eAuction.
