Lancashire County Council would like to make it easier for suppliers to form consortia with a view to creating more opportunities to participate in tender processes. 

To do this, we have collated and are maintaining an open on-line directory for like-minded organisations to share their contact details - a consortium exchange register.  We believe this will make our contracts more accessible for businesses who want to get together to bid.

The opportunity to work together is available to suppliers of any size and any type including SMEs, large business, voluntary, faith, third sector or social enterprise.

Further details have been provided below. To have your details added, please complete the update form and send this to the below email address. Your details will be published on this page, and you can remove them at any time by contacting us.

Likewise, if you have any feedback or questions, please let us know. consortiumexchange@lancashire.gov.uk

Guidance

The consortium exchange register is a central directory managed by Lancashire County Council. It helps organisations and businesses find and connect with potential partners to form a consortium. These partnerships can strengthen bids and improve success rates when tendering or bidding for Lancashire County Council contracts. The register allows users to search for other organisations by sector, expertise, location, or project needs.

This guide explains how to access, use, and update the register to maximise collaboration opportunities.

Benefits of using the register

  • Discover new partners - find organisations with complementary skills or resources
  • Enable collaboration - form project teams or joint bids for procurement opportunities
  • Share knowledge - connect with others facing similar challenges or working towards shared goals
