03Common questions

What happens when a public sector contract ends?

The buyer usually either uses an extension option written into the contract or runs a new procurement. If it goes back out to tender, the new notice normally appears 3–9 months before the end date, and the tender window itself is often only a few weeks.

How can I prepare for a contract that's about to be re-tendered?

Check the buyer's past notices for the pass/fail rules they used (turnover, insurance, accreditations), get missing certificates in place early, and make sure you're registered on the buyer's portal and the Central Digital Platform. When the new notice is published you then only need to write the bid.

Where does this data come from?

From contract award notices published on Contracts Finder and Find a Tender, refreshed every night. It lists 12,179 contracts worth at least £10k that end in the next 12 months. End dates are the ones published at award; buyers can extend or end contracts early.
