What Is the Central Digital Platform (CDP)?
This is a UK procurement term. The digital backbone of the Procurement Act 2023, where suppliers register their core details once and buyers publish notices.
What is the Central Digital Platform used for?
Suppliers register their core information there, and buyers publish procurement notices across the whole lifecycle, from planning to contract termination.
How does it relate to Find a Tender?
The Central Digital Platform runs on Find a Tender, which is where notices are published and searched.
Why should suppliers register early?
Registration is needed to share information with buyers when bidding, and doing it ahead of a deadline avoids last-minute problems.
