Telemarketing Tenders and Contracts

Most are outbound calling campaigns bought by business growth hubs, universities, local enterprise partnerships and councils to generate leads or book appointments: apprenticeship take-up, SME growth programmes, or awareness campaigns tied to a specific scheme. A smaller share covers inbound telemarketing and telesales, and a few notices bundle telemarketing in as one line within a wider marketing or design services contract.

Stotles brings together telemarketing 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. Telemarketing is usually bought as a single campaign contract, and sometimes appears as one line inside a wider marketing, design or creative services framework.

Outbound calling must comply with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 and UK data protection law, including screening against the Telephone Preference Service. Tenders usually set minimum insurance cover, check financial standing and ask for evidence of similar campaigns at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.

Telemarketing work is mostly bought as single-provider campaign contracts, often funded through regional development programmes, and telemarketing sometimes appears as one line inside a wider marketing framework. Growth hubs, local enterprise partnerships, universities and councils run the campaigns, and charities and government departments buy calling too.

Read communications strategies, campaign calendars, event programmes and framework renewal dates, which show telemarketing work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the communications teams behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.

Telemarketing notices carry 79342000 (Marketing services), 79342100 (Direct marketing services) and 79340000 (Advertising and marketing services).
