When do Government Legal Department contracts come up for 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 8 November 2025 to 7 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 rose, then fell in the last year. Contracts by publication date in the 12 months to 7 Nov 2026 and the two years before it, oldest first: 48, 62 and 45. 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: 37 of its 65 contracts with an end date still to come end by 7 November 2027. Shown when that is more than half, with at least 5.
- 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 14 new suppliers in the last 12 months: Suppliers named on a contract it awarded and published since 8 November 2025, and on none before. Counted by organisation, not by spelling.
- Most recent award: recorded 29 Sept 2026 (5 weeks ago).
- Values: value figures cover the 238 of 239 contracts where a value was published. Values are never added up: framework ceilings and values repeated across lots would make a total meaningless.
- Since 2021: totals count contracts by award date from January 2021, and suppliers by organisation rather than by spelling.
