Star Academies, in short
Who does Star Academies award contracts to?
Across 60 contracts recorded since 2021, Star Academies has used 58 different suppliers. The most frequent are Marlowe Fire and Security Limited (10 contracts), Walker Fire UK lTD (10 contracts), Firemark Limited (5 contracts).
What does Star Academies buy?
Its most active procurement categories are business and professional services, electrical equipment and lighting, architecture and engineering. Categories are derived from the CPV codes published on each award notice.
When do Star Academies contracts come up for renewal?
19 contracts awarded by Star Academies have an end date within the next 18 months, the earliest on 31 Aug 2027. End dates come from the original award notices, so they are visible well before any re-tender is advertised.
How much does Star Academies spend on contracts?
The median published contract value is £1.9m, across the 54 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 Star Academies tenders?
Tender Radar monitors Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales each weekday morning and can score every new Star Academies 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.
- Most of its current contracts end in the next 12 months: 19 of its 34 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 awarded contracts every year since 2024: At least one contract in every calendar year from 2024 to 2026, by award date (or publication date where the award date is later). Our records begin in 2021.
- Took on 29 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 28 Sept 2026 (5 weeks ago).
- Values: value figures cover the 54 of 60 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.
