Welcome

  • This portal is used across the East Midlands to carry out electronic tenders, bringing buyers and suppliers together, making it easier for businesses to grow and benefit the local economy.
  • This portal is used by 5 Local Authorities – they are Derby City, Leicester City, Leicestershire County, Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire County.
  • You can view our advertised opportunities and submit bids if you are a registered supplier.
  • Use our registration and log in page to get started.
  • All 5 Local Authorities are in the process of moving from the East Mids Tenders portal to this ‘Source East Midlands’ portal – this will take some time. During the move, new opportunities will be posted to one or other of the 2 portals – so potential suppliers will need to monitor both portals to see all new opportunities.
