Central Digital Platform Assistance
The Central Digital Platform (CDP) is a key part of the UK Procurement Act 2023. It’s designed to streamline public procurement, making it easier for buyers and suppliers to connect and do business. If you want to take part in bidding for UK tenders, you are required to register on the CDP and fully complete the sign-up process.
As part of the CDP, there is a detailed Procurement Specific Questionnaire that we can assist you with. Following completion of this questionnaire, it can be used in conjunction with the usual tender application processes. An accurate and detailed response is needed for the Procurement Specific Questionnaire and we are on hand to complete this process for you. Get in touch for a quotation and next steps.
