Every route to market, on one register.
Most public business is not won in an open tender. It is called off from a framework or a dynamic market a supplier joined months earlier. The Register holds every such route: who runs it, what it covers, who is on it, and when it opens to new members.
Why it matters
Under the Procurement Act 2023, frameworks set supplier lists for up to four years and open frameworks admit new members at set points; dynamic markets stay open throughout. A supplier not on the route cannot bid on the call-offs. Knowing which routes exist, and when they open, is the difference between a market that is reachable and one that is closed.
The Register is being built from the OCDS data first — every framework and dynamic market that a notice names — and extended with further sources as they are identified. The backfill is anchored at 24 Feb 2025, the day the Act commenced, with selective work-back for legacy dynamic purchasing systems. Coverage is partial today and stated on every record.
How a route reaches the Register
Discover
Routes are found in the notices: a framework established, a dynamic market opened, a call-off that names its parent. Direct sources are added where a portal or operator publishes one.
Enrich
Each route is filled out: operator, scope, lots, value, member list, open and close dates, how to join.
Review
A person checks the enriched record before it is published. AI proposes; it does not publish on its own.
Publish
The route is live on the Register, with its calendar. WinPath matches it against a supplier's Elemental Record to say whether they should apply.
What a route record holds
Operator and scope
Who runs the route, what it covers, which lots, which regions.
Membership
Who is on it, and whether a given supplier is on it, should join, or cannot.
Calendar
When it opened, when it next admits members, when it closes. Dated, with a time where there is one.
The routes a supplier should be on.
WinPath reads the Register against a supplier's own record.
