  • What counts as an IT tender?

    An IT tender covers software development, licensing and support, cloud hosting, network and server infrastructure, service desks and end user computing, plus wider technology and digital transformation projects. It does not include contracts where a computer or software line item appears only in passing inside an unrelated project, such as a construction or leisure services contract.

  • Who buys IT contracts in the public sector?

    Central government departments, local councils, NHS trusts, police forces, universities, colleges, academy trusts and housing associations all run IT contracts, most often for service desk support, managed IT services, software licensing and network or cloud infrastructure.

  • What is the difference between an IT support contract and an IT services contract?

    An IT support contract usually covers a service desk, incident response and ongoing maintenance for an existing technology estate. An IT services contract can be broader, covering software development, systems integration, cloud migration or a full managed service, and often includes support as one part of a wider scope.

  • How do suppliers bid for public sector IT contracts?

    IT contracts are published on Find a Tender and Contracts Finder, plus specialist and framework portals used by local and health-sector bodies. Many run through frameworks such as G-Cloud rather than as one-off tenders.
