Development Tenders

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.

A large share of the notices in this filter are award notices, so most of this work has already been placed. Awarded records still repay reading. They name the incumbent and the expiry date, which is what tells you when the work comes back round. Platform-wide, 48,603 awarded contracts expire in the next twelve months.

This 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. Platform-wide, 3,225 notices were added last week across every category.

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.

Through frameworks more often than through open competition. 44% of suppliers told the 2026 Stotles Supplier Survey that frameworks are their main route to market, and the notices bear that out: 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.
