Crown Commercial Service
Every notice Crown Commercial Service has published to Find a Tender and Contracts Finder, read into one page: what they buy, how often they come back to market, and who wins their contracts.
When they’ll likely tender next
Projected from Crown Commercial Service’s own gaps between notices — a forecast, never a promise. Tap a row for its workings.
01/ Open opportunities
Open for bids right now.
2 notices from Crown Commercial Service are open, soonest closing first.
02/ Spending over time
How much they put out to tender.
Notices Crown Commercial Service published each year, and the published value of those notices. Hover or tap a year to read it.
Read the shape, not the growth: our coverage of the registers differs by year, so a rise between two years is not by itself a rise in spending.

03/ Re-tender cycles
Every category on a cycle.
Each track is one full cycle for that category; the fill is how far through it today is. A lapsed cycle means the last round has run out and a new notice could appear at any time.
04/ Who wins here

How this page is made
Live figures
Every figure on this page is read from the RFP Quest corpus of UK public notices — Find a Tender and Contracts Finder, published under the Open Government Licence v3.0 — when the page is built, and the page is rebuilt at most hourly.
Published value sums the value each notice states, with any single notice capped at £100m so that one framework ceiling cannot pass for spending. A framework ceiling is the most a buyer could spend through an agreement, not what it will spend.
A re-tender cycle is the median gap between this buyer's notices in one category. It is shown only where the history supports it, and a cycle that has run out is shown as overdue, never as a forecast date.
Retention across the category is shown as two measures or not at all — how often a repeat contract goes to a supplier the buyer has not used, and how often the previous winner returns — and only above 60 repeat events.
