Development Tenders

See open development tenders and awarded contracts for the UK public sector.

Two kinds of buying sit side by side here. Some notices are whole builds: a council website, an online schools portal, a headless content management system. Others are one developer role called off a staffing framework, covering front-end, back-end, full stack, portal or a named stack such as Drupal, WordPress or JavaScript.

Read the notice title carefully: scope and value vary hugely between a full build and a single contractor placement.

  • What kind of development work do public sector buyers tender for?

    Development tenders cover everything between a single front-end developer called off a staffing framework and a full website and portal build. Front-end and back-end development are both well represented, full stack work is common, and portal builds are a steady stream of their own. Named stacks show up too, particularly Drupal, WordPress and JavaScript.

  • Why do so few development notices show as open?

    Development work is bought in bursts, and awarded and closed records outnumber the live ones by a wide margin. Set an alert rather than refreshing a search, since a fresh brief can appear and close again within weeks.

  • Are CPV codes a reliable way to find development tenders?

    Not on their own. Development notices carry a wide spread of IT and website-design codes, and a meaningful slice of the market is contract developer resource bought through staffing and recruitment categories rather than a software purchase. Keyword search catches phrasing that a code alone would miss.

  • How do suppliers usually win public sector development work?

    Through frameworks more often than through open competition: digital delivery frameworks with a web development lot, then call-offs against them. Stotles indexes notices from 100+ portals, so the call-offs surface alongside the parent agreement.
