University of Essex, in short
Who does University of Essex award contracts to?
Across 199 contracts recorded since 2021, University of Essex has used 164 different suppliers. The most frequent are Rose Builders Limited (16 contracts), Showcase Interiors Limited (15 contracts), Crystal Facilities Management LTD (10 contracts).
What does University of Essex buy?
Its most active procurement categories are business and professional services, construction works, communications and broadcast equipment. Categories are derived from the CPV codes published on each award notice.
When do University of Essex contracts come up for renewal?
18 contracts awarded by University of Essex have an end date within the next 18 months, the earliest on 15 Jan 2027. End dates come from the original award notices, so they are visible well before any re-tender is advertised.
How much does University of Essex spend on contracts?
The median published contract value is £316k, across the 133 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 University of Essex tenders?
Tender Radar monitors Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales each weekday morning and can score every new University of Essex 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 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: 45, 59 and 22. A change of more than 15% counts as a rise or fall; each year needs at least 5 contracts.
- 5 contracts end in the next 6 months: Published end dates between 7 November 2026 and 7 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 16 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 14 Oct 2026 (3 weeks ago).
- Values: value figures cover the 133 of 199 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.
