Quoting for goods and services
All suppliers should have a valid Purchase Order when supplying goods or services to the Government of Jersey.
This ensures:
- compliance with our commercial policies
- payments are processed efficiently
Purchase Orders must be raised through Connect Ariba.
We advise that all suppliers register for an account.
Depending on the type and value of the goods or services, we may ask suppliers to provide quotes. Over certain value thresholds, we are required to seek more than one quote. This helps ensure maximum value and quality is achieved.
Responding to requests for quotes
You may receive a request for quote from either Channel Island Tenders (Proactis e-sourcing) or via Connect Ariba. Guidance on how to respond to a request for quote via Ariba can be found below.

Where to find tender opportunities
We advertise opportunities to tenders for the provision of goods and services.
You can register on Channel Island Tenders.
When you gain access to our tender portal, we will contact you for your contact details.
You will be asked a series of questions to determine which tenders are best suited to your organisation.
When you're registered, we will email you about potential tendering opportunities. You can also:
- browse tender opportunities through the portal
- register your interest directly
Ensuring a fair and open competition process
We promote competition and transparency in the award of contracts, supported by Financial Directions for the supply of goods, services and products to public sector organisations.
Jersey is not subject to EU Procurement Directives.
The procurement process can vary depending on elements such as:
- contract value
- product or service type
- opportunity
They are led by the managing department or the Corporate Procurement team.
All bids are subject to an evaluation process.
Decision and feedback
We will contact you if your application is successful, where you will be able to begin the supplier onboarding process.
If your application is unsuccessful, you can request a debrief which tells you why your bid wasn't accepted. You will not be given any information on other parties’ bids.
If you have feedback during a tender process, you can submit comments on the Channel Islands Tender website.
If you have any feedback after a tender process, you can submit comments to the Procurement team.
