Common questions
Industrial machinery procurement, in short
Who buys industrial machinery in the UK public sector?
523 public sector organisations have awarded industrial machinery contracts since 2021. The most active are UK Shared Business Services Ltd (107 contracts), UK Research & Innovation (75 contracts), NHS Property Services Limited (46 contracts).
How much is a typical industrial machinery contract worth?
The median is £86k, across the 1,352 contracts of 1,432 that publish a value. A median rather than an average, because a single framework worth hundreds of millions would otherwise make the typical contract look far larger than it is.
When do industrial machinery contracts come up for renewal?
174 contracts in this category have an end date inside the next 18 months. End dates are published in the original award notice, so they are visible long before any re-tender is advertised, which is usually the point at which the specification is already written.
How do I find new industrial machinery tenders?
Notices are published across Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales, each with its own search. Tender Radar reads all four each weekday morning and scores new notices against your profile, alongside the contracts in this category approaching renewal.
