About the buyer

Gambling Commission is a central government body regulating gambling in Great Britain, and its budget holders manage procurement across the organisation. Contracts above a set value are advertised on Contracts Finder, with larger opportunities also listed on Find a Tender. Much of its buying runs through pre-agreed framework agreements, including those from the Crown Commercial Service. A dedicated supplier portal, hosted on MyTenders, carries live opportunities too. Smaller purchases go through a competitive process requiring at least three quotes before any public advert is needed. Every contract runs on standard government terms and conditions.

Procurement spend from central entities makes up 66% of overall UK public spend.

Over the past 5 years, most of the Gambling Commission's contract awards have been in business services, repair and maintenance and research and development.
