Ofcom procures under the Procurement Act 2023 and its own procurement rules. Competitions for its contracts usually run as an Invitation to Tender process, procured directly by Ofcom's own commercial team. Larger opportunities also typically route through Crown Commercial Service frameworks or frameworks hosted by public bodies. Ofcom publishes contract opportunities on Contracts Finder, with higher-value notices appearing on Find a Tender. Awarded contracts appear on Ofcom's own contract register alongside its procurement strategy.

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

Over the past 5 years, most of Ofcom's contract awards have been in business services, software and information systems and IT services.
