Ofqual, in short
Who does Ofqual award contracts to?
Across 15 contracts recorded since 2021, Ofqual has used 11 different suppliers. The most frequent are Gowling WLG (UK) LLP (2 contracts), PA CONSULTING Services LTD (2 contracts), ACCESS UK Ltd (2 contracts).
What does Ofqual buy?
Its most active procurement categories are software and information systems, business and professional services, research and development. Categories are derived from the CPV codes published on each award notice.
When do Ofqual contracts come up for renewal?
2 contracts awarded by Ofqual have an end date within the next 18 months, the earliest on 31 Mar 2027. End dates come from the original award notices, so they are visible well before any re-tender is advertised.
How much does Ofqual spend on contracts?
The median published contract value is £110k, across the 15 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 Ofqual tenders?
Tender Radar monitors Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales each weekday morning and can score every new Ofqual notice against your organisation's profile, delivering the relevant ones before 9am alongside their contracts approaching renewal.

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.
- 1 contract ends in the next 6 months: Published end dates between 8 November 2026 and 8 May 2027, each contract counted once.
- Has awarded contracts every year since 2022: At least one contract in every calendar year from 2022 to 2026, by award date (or publication date where the award date is later). Our records begin in 2021.
- Took on 3 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 26 Mar 2026 (7 months ago).
- Since 2021: totals count contracts by award date from January 2021, and suppliers by organisation rather than by spelling.
