Why you can bid here
How public procurement works in United Kingdom
United Kingdom is a party to the WTO Government Procurement Agreement (GPA). Above a published value threshold, public buyers must open their tenders to suppliers from every other GPA party on equal terms — a foreign supplier competes on the same footing as a domestic one, with no discrimination on origin.
Notices are published on Find a Tender and other portals. The hard part isn’t eligibility — it’s finding the handful of notices worth your time among the thousands published every week, often across several portals and languages. That’s what qlows is built to solve: it reads the full corpus, classifies it by CPV/NAICS, and surfaces the tenders that fit your catalog.
