Procurement pipeline
Our procurement pipeline is usually updated on a 6 monthly basis (April and October).
Our latest pipeline is provided in two file formats:
Procurement Pipeline October 2025 (CSV)
Procurement Pipeline October 2025 (Excel)
In accordance with the Procurement Act 2023, the Council publishes formal Pipeline Notices for projects with an estimated value exceeding £2 million that fall within the scope of the Act. These notices are available via the current listings on Find a Tender:
Please note:
- The projects listed in published pipelines represent potential tendering opportunities and are not guaranteed.
- All information, including estimated dates and contract values, is subject to change.
- Inclusion of a project in the pipeline does not constitute a commitment by the Council to proceed with a procurement process.
- While the Council may use the procurement route indicated, it reserves the right to pursue alternative methods, such as calling off from an established public sector framework.
Future tender opportunities and current contracts
We will continue to advertise tender opportunities on the e-tendering portal YORtender.
The council's current contracts register can be accessed via the YORtender portal at Contracts
A snapshot of the Council's contracts register will be published on a 6 monthly basis (April and October)

Procurement Act 2023
On 24 February 2025, the rules that shape how public bodies buy goods and services changed.
If your business supplies goods, works or services to organisations in the public or utility sectors - or hopes to do so in the future - you need to know about the changes.
The Procurement Act 2023 has introduced measures to improve and streamline the way procurement is done and to benefit prospective suppliers of all sizes, particularly small businesses, start-ups and social enterprises.
Information and guidance for suppliers
To familiarise yourself with the Act, please refer to the summary documents and videos on Information and Guidance for suppliers which provides further information about public procurement, how to videos and guides, and additional support that the Cabinet Office is providing.
To support suppliers, the Cabinet Office has published a suite of guidance to assist you as you begin to do business under the new regime.
- A short guide for suppliers on the main elements of the Procurement Act 2023
- A factsheet explaining how the Central Digital Platform will work
- Dedicated Transforming Public Procurement Knowledge Drop videos giving you an overview of the key changes with versions for SMEs and VCSEs
- Supplementary Information to explain how public sectors are defining small and medium-sized enterprises
An enhanced Find a Tender service (FTS) was launched on 24 February 2025, which is the central digital platform for public procurement, making it easier to find and bid for contracts. Suppliers can now register on this system and submit their core business information. The Cabinet Office have produced a series of videos on Information and Guidance for suppliers to help you understand and navigate the platform, including how to register, upload organisational information and search and bid for opportunities.
