Feasibility Tenders and Contracts

Feasibility studies span almost every sector: building refurbishment and reuse, infrastructure and transport schemes, service redesign programmes, and international development programmes all commission a feasibility stage before committing to delivery. Technical feasibility assessments and design appraisals are the most common specific formats.

Stotles brings together feasibility tenders and contracts from 100+ portals into one search, so you do not have to check each portal separately, and you can set alerts for new opportunities across the UK and Ireland.

If you want to search the government portals directly, Find a Tender carries higher-value contracts across the UK and Contracts Finder carries lower-value contracts in England. Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales and eTendersNI cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Ireland's eTenders covers Irish public bodies, and many councils, NHS bodies and housing associations publish on their own e-tendering portals such as ProContract. Feasibility studies are often called off from consultancy frameworks such as Scotland Excel's engineering and technical consultancy framework, or form the first stage of a wider design appointment.

Feasibility tenders are scored on methodology, the team's sector expertise, options appraisal approach, programme and fees. Winning the feasibility stage often positions a consultant for the design work that follows.

Feasibility studies for central government funding are expected to follow HM Treasury's Green Book, and technical studies need suitably qualified engineers or surveyors. Tenders usually set minimum professional indemnity insurance, check financial standing and ask for evidence of similar studies at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.

Feasibility studies are bought as standalone commissions, often as direct awards or call-offs from frameworks such as the Scotland Excel engineering and technical consultancy framework, and as the first stage of wider design and engineering appointments. Councils, combined authorities, central government departments, Irish local authorities and universities are the main buyers.

Councils and cultural institutions commission feasibility work ahead of building or estate projects. Government departments use it before committing to a policy programme or overseas development scheme, and NHS trusts commission it ahead of capital works. It is almost always an early-stage, exploratory contract rather than the main delivery.

Read capital programmes, funding bid timetables, estates and transport strategies and early market engagement notices, which show feasibility 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.

Feasibility notices carry 71241000 (Feasibility study, advisory service, analysis), and engineering-led studies add 71311000 (Civil engineering consultancy services).
