South East Business Portal

Supplier Information

The South East Business Portal is designed to allow the sharing of information about existing contracts and forthcoming tendering opportunities across the seventy four councils of the South East region.

The portal has been developed by the South East Centre of Excellence (SECE) along with the Regional Procurement Networks and Due north and is aimed at helping both suppliers to and councils within the south east region.

The seventy four south east councils collectively spend between £4 billion and £4.5 billion each year on bought-in goods and services.

The portal offers suppliers the opportunity to:

• Have free of charge registration & access to council opportunities, as well as an email alert feature
• Register against their category of expertise 
• Register against specific opportunities as they come up 
• Search the Contracts Store – suppliers can view full contract details for their chosen product or council by individual council, category* of goods and services or by contract title 
• Using the Advanced Search facility allows suppliers to look for contracts across a wider selection of information. 
• Download selected information into spreadsheet format 
• Provide feedback via the on-line feedback form

* Categories use the ProClass system

Opportunities

Suppliers may register their interest in specific opportunities shown on this Portal and / or receive e-mail notification of new opportunities for specific categories of goods and services as well as by the council, or group of councils, they are interested in.

Registration for a specific opportunity will ensure that your company is included in the council’s selection process for that tender. Registration via this Portal does not guarantee that you will be invited to tender.

Similarly e-mail notification of a new opportunity is a prompt for you to decide whether to register your interest or not for that particular tender. It does not automatically include your company in the process.

Additional functionality is available to council officers including ability to upload new contract and opportunity information the secure area of the Portal. This area is password protected and requires officers to register and log-in before use.
