Cardiff tenders
Public sector tenders in Cardiff
Welsh procurement has its own portal and its own statutory duties, and Cardiff is where a large share of it originates. The Welsh Government, national bodies and NHS Wales organisations sit in or near the capital, while the council itself buys for a city of well over three hundred thousand people. Suppliers should expect questions about the well-being of future generations duty and, on many contracts, about Welsh language provision. The list below covers our Wales pool with Cardiff notices surfaced where they exist.
Who buys in Cardiff
Buyers include Cardiff Council and neighbouring authorities in south east Wales, the Welsh Government and its sponsored bodies, NHS Wales health boards and the shared services partnership, the city universities, and housing associations operating across the region.

Questions about Cardiff tenders
- Do I need Welsh language capability to bid?
- It depends on the contract. Public-facing services often require bilingual delivery, and the specification will say so. Many technical or works contracts do not.
- Which portal do Welsh contracts use?
- Sell2Wales carries most Welsh public sector notices, with higher-value ones also appearing on Find a Tender. 123 Tenders currently indexes Find a Tender, Contracts Finder and Public Contracts Scotland, so suppliers working in Wales should also check Sell2Wales directly.
