Find a Tender is the United Kingdom government service publishing public sector procurement notices across the whole procurement lifecycle, from pipeline and planning through tender, award, contract details, change, performance and termination. Notices from one procurement are linked by a shared Open Contracting identifier.
Domain Rating is a dated Ahrefs snapshot of domain authority. PetroHrys Score is an independent editorial assessment of the directory’s practical business value. They are separate measurements and are never combined. Domain Rating values are dated historical Ahrefs snapshots. Domain Rating is a dated historical measurement of the shared domain, not an assessment of this individual registry page. New measurements are not collected because the Research Center does not depend on mandatory authenticated APIs. Where several registries are published on one measured domain they repeat that domain’s single dated snapshot rather than each carrying a figure of its own. Domain Rating is a third-party metric produced by their respective providers, not by PetroHrys.com. Each recorded value carries its provider and the date it was measured, and describes the domain that was measured rather than one page on it. No source has been consulted for authority score, estimated traffic and referring domains, so they are not published for any record.
Open Notices are searched and read without an account. A GOV.UK One Login account adds saved searches, email notifications and organisation registration, none of which is needed to search or read a notice.
Find a Tender can be searched free of charge and without an account, and individual notices are readable anonymously.
It publishes the full procurement lifecycle rather than opportunities alone, including award, contract detail, change, performance and termination notices.
Notices from the same procurement share an Open Contracting identifier, so a contract can be followed from pipeline to termination.
Bulk data is published under the Open Government Licence in the Open Contracting Data Standard, so the notices are reusable rather than only viewable.
Limitations
It is a notice database, not a supplier register. Publication of a notice establishes nothing about any supplier’s eligibility, standing, competence or trustworthiness.
Coverage is not uniform across the United Kingdom. Scotland sits outside the Procurement Act 2023 regime, so Scottish below-threshold and full-lifecycle notices are not published here and run through Public Contracts Scotland instead.
The widely repeated description of the service as covering only high-value contracts above a threshold is now out of date, and the GOV.UK guidance page still carries that older framing.
Notice content is supplied by the publishing authority, so an error in a notice is the authority’s error and is not corrected by the service.

Establishing required submission assets requires submitting a listing and observing the result. That has not been done for any directory in this dataset, so it is not published rather than estimated.

The PetroHrys Score is a first-party editorial assessment, not a third-party
authority metric. It is the weighted sum of the ten factors above, divided by ten, so the number
on this page is reproducible from the values shown. Each factor is scored from 0 to 10 by a human reviewer and weighted as shown. The definitions describe what was weighed, not a rubric: no threshold or formula maps a directory onto a value, and two reviewers could reach different numbers. The score is reproducible from the factors shown on every record, but it is an editorial judgement, not a measurement.
