Contract information and data
We're keen to promote the transparency of the contract data we hold. This information can be accessed through the following sources.
Contract Register
Contracts awarded, details of frameworks and dynamic purchasing systems can be found on our e-procurement contracts register on Supplying the South West.
Contracts Finder
Contracts Finder website was launched in February 2015 alongside the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The Regulations require in-scope bodies to publish all advertised UK public sector procurement opportunities and contract awards above certain thresholds on Contracts Finder:
£10,000 for central government bodies and
£25,000 for wider public sector bodies
You can use Contracts Finder to:
- search for contract opportunities in different sectors
- find out what’s coming up in the future
- look up details of previous tenders and contracts

Health Care Service (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023
The Provider Selection Regime (PSR) was introduced on the back of the Heath and Care Act 2022. This regime, outlined in the Health Care Services (PSR) Regulations 2023, replaces previous procurement rules for NHS and local authority funded health care services. It provides flexibility for relevant authorities to choose providers, moving away from the previous expectation of competitive tendering for health care service contracts.
The PSR applies to the arrangement of health care and public health services, regardless of the provider (NHS, public sector, local authorities, or voluntary and independent sectors).
It doesn't cover goods and non-healthcare services unless part of mixed procurement, as defined in the Regulations.
Transparency requirements under the PSR regulations requires the publication of an annual report of contracts issued under the regulations.
Plymouth City Council’s procurement activity in relation to relevant Health Care Services can be found in the below reports.
