The Electoral Commission, in short
Who does The Electoral Commission award contracts to?
Across 49 contracts recorded since 2021, The Electoral Commission has used 41 different suppliers. The most frequent are The Politics Project (2 contracts), Phoenix Software LTD (2 contracts), BMG Research LTD (2 contracts).
What does The Electoral Commission buy?
Its most active procurement categories are education and training, research and development, business and professional services. Categories are derived from the CPV codes published on each award notice.
When do The Electoral Commission contracts come up for renewal?
28 contracts awarded by The Electoral Commission have an end date within the next 18 months, the earliest on 30 Mar 2027. End dates come from the original award notices, so they are visible well before any re-tender is advertised.
How much does The Electoral Commission spend on contracts?
The median published contract value is £70k, across the 49 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 The Electoral Commission tenders?
Tender Radar monitors Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales each weekday morning and can score every new The Electoral Commission 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 rose in the last year. Contracts by publication date in the 12 months to 8 Nov 2026 and the year before it, oldest first: 11 and 39. A change of more than 15% counts as a rise or fall; each year needs at least 5 contracts.
- 4 contracts end in the next 6 months: Published end dates between 8 November 2026 and 8 May 2027, each contract counted once.
- Took on 30 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 18 Jun 2026 (5 months ago).
- Since 2021: totals count contracts by award date from January 2021, and suppliers by organisation rather than by spelling.
