The University Of Kent, in short
Who does The University Of Kent award contracts to?
Across 82 contracts recorded since 2021, The University Of Kent has used 69 different suppliers. The most frequent are Zeelo Limited (6 contracts), Stonepoint Limited (6 contracts), Surefix Construction Company (Kent) Ltd (5 contracts).
What does The University Of Kent buy?
Its most active procurement categories are construction works, transport services, business and professional services. Categories are derived from the CPV codes published on each award notice.
When do The University Of Kent contracts come up for renewal?
26 contracts awarded by The University Of Kent have an end date within the next 18 months, the earliest on 13 Nov 2026. End dates come from the original award notices, so they are visible well before any re-tender is advertised.
How much does The University Of Kent spend on contracts?
The median published contract value is £174k, across the 75 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 University Of Kent tenders?
Tender Radar monitors Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales each weekday morning and can score every new The University Of Kent 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.
- 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: 13, 45 and 76. A change of more than 15% counts as a rise or fall; each year needs at least 5 contracts.
- 10 contracts end 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 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 59 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 20 Aug 2026 (3 months ago).
- Values: value figures cover the 75 of 82 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.
