Development Tenders and Contracts

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

Development procurement covers building websites, online portals and mobile apps, content management system builds and their ongoing support, and individual developers brought in by the day, from front-end and back-end to full stack and Java.

The individual roles mostly come through temporary and interim IT staffing frameworks, while larger builds run as G-Cloud and digital services call-offs or as lots in multi-supplier frameworks. Central government departments, Scottish public bodies, universities and colleges, councils, NHS bodies and Irish state agencies are regular buyers of development work.

  • 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?

    Development tenders carry 72000000 (IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support), 72212517 (IT software development services) and 72212224 (Web page editing software development services). Contract developers bought through staffing arrangements carry 79620000 (Supply services of personnel including temporary staff).

  • 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.

  • How do I find development contracts before they are formally tendered?

    Read digital and technology strategies, licence and contract renewal dates, architecture reviews and early market engagement notices, which show development work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.
