04IT support contracts: common questions

How many IT support tenders are live in the UK?

103 right now, from 94 public buyers, with 27 closing in the next 14 days. We bring together notices from Find a Tender and Contracts Finder and refresh this page every hour.

What do buyers ask for in IT support contracts?

Few notices state a minimum turnover; it is usually set out in the tender documents. The insurance named most often is employer's liability at around £5m. Most requirements sit in the tender documents rather than the notice, so check the pack before you bid.

Can a small business win IT support contracts?

Often, yes. 57 of the 103 live tenders in the UK are marked by the buyer as suitable for small businesses, and 18 are frameworks or dynamic purchasing systems (approved supplier lists that buyers then order from). Smaller lots and lower-value contracts are usually the best place to start. Check the minimum turnover and insurance first, as those are the checks that rule most bids out.

05Expert notes: IT, digital & cyber

Public sector IT buyers commonly require Cyber Essentials (often Plus) and sometimes ISO 27001. Much spend goes through frameworks such as G-Cloud and Digital Outcomes, so being listed can matter more than chasing single tenders.
