Common questions
Leisure, culture and sport procurement, in short
Who buys leisure, culture and sport in the UK public sector?
319 public sector organisations have awarded leisure, culture and sport contracts since 2021. The most active are FCDO Services (51 contracts), Department For Education (43 contracts), Ministry of Defence (13 contracts).
How much is a typical leisure, culture and sport contract worth?
The median is £65k, across the 714 contracts of 751 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 leisure, culture and sport contracts come up for renewal?
159 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 leisure, culture and sport 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.
