We advertise tender opportunities through Contracts Finder. You can find out further information about the opportunities and submit expressions of interest on their website.
The University of Bath’s eTendering programme is run in conjunction with BIPS DELTA. Before you can participate in a University of Bath tender you must have an account which you can register for on the Delta eSourcing website.
If you are already registered you will not need to register again, simply use your existing username and password. Please note there is a password reminder link on the Delta eSourcing homepage. You can find out how to use the eSourcing tool on their Resources menu.
Using Delta eSourcing to express an interest

Restricted tenders
For a Restricted Tender (Procedure) expressions of interest are by submission (in Delta) of responses to a Selection Questionnaire. Selection of Tenderers will be based solely on the Selection criteria set out for the specific requirement (details of which can be found on the right under SELECT.
