Department for Transport, in short
Who does Department for Transport award contracts to?
Across 275 contracts recorded since 2021, Department for Transport has used 241 different suppliers. The most frequent are AECOM Limited (14 contracts), Mott MacDonald LTD (9 contracts), OVE ARUP and PARTNERS LIMITED (8 contracts).
What does Department for Transport buy?
Its most active procurement categories are architecture and engineering, research and development, business and professional services. Categories are derived from the CPV codes published on each award notice.
When do Department for Transport contracts come up for renewal?
63 contracts awarded by Department for Transport have an end date within the next 18 months, the earliest on 30 Nov 2026. End dates come from the original award notices, so they are visible well before any re-tender is advertised.
How much does Department for Transport spend on contracts?
The median published contract value is £113k, across the 275 contracts that state a value. Published values are not added up here: a framework's value is a ceiling shared by every supplier on it, and the same value is often repeated across lots, so adding them up would overstate what is spent.
How can I be alerted to new Department for Transport tenders?
Tender Radar monitors Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales each weekday morning and can score every new Department for Transport notice against your organisation's profile, delivering the relevant ones before 9am alongside their contracts approaching renewal.

Same type of body. National bodies are not grouped by region: a department's notice address is where its commercial team sits, not where it works. Most published awards first.
How these figures are worked out
- The last 12 months: award notices published from 9 November 2025 to 8 November 2026, each contract counted once however many suppliers or rows it has. The same window is used everywhere on this page.
- Year on year: Its published contract awards have grown in each of the last two years. Contracts by publication date in the 12 months to 8 Nov 2026 and the two years before it, oldest first: 24, 84 and 133. A change of more than 15% counts as a rise or fall; each year needs at least 5 contracts.
- Most of its current contracts end in the next 12 months: 54 of its 97 contracts with an end date still to come end by 8 November 2027. Shown when that is more than half, with at least 5.
- Has published 6 planned procurements: Pipeline notices on Find a Tender whose expected tender date is still to come, or passed in the last 30 days.
- Has awarded contracts every year since 2021: At least one contract in every calendar year from 2021 to 2026, by award date (or publication date where the award date is later). Our records begin in 2021.
- Took on 86 new suppliers in the last 12 months: Suppliers named on a contract it awarded and published since 9 November 2025, and on none before. Counted by organisation, not by spelling.
- Most recent award: recorded 29 Oct 2026 (10 days ago).
- Since 2021: totals count contracts by award date from January 2021, and suppliers by organisation rather than by spelling.
