Nottingham tenders
Public sector tenders in Nottingham
Nottingham has a two-tier structure around it, a city council with unitary responsibilities and a county council covering the surrounding districts, which means similar services are sometimes tendered twice by different buyers. The city also has two large universities, major hospital trusts and a long-standing transport operation. Suppliers who understand which authority owns which service can target more precisely. The notices below draw on our East Midlands pool with Nottingham-named notices lifted to the front.

Questions about Nottingham tenders
- Should I watch both the city and the county council?
- Yes if your service could be bought by either. They are separate authorities with separate budgets and separate notices.
- Do smaller district councils publish tenders too?
- They do, usually for lower-value works and services such as grounds maintenance, leisure and waste support, which can be a good entry point.
