Each has an end date already published in its award notice. The incumbent knows the date. Most competitors find out when the re-tender appears, by which point the specification is written.

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.

Contract data on this page is sourced from Find a Tender and Contracts Finder and published under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Contains public sector information licensed under that licence. Figures cover contract award notices published from January 2021 onward, with comprehensive coverage from 2023. Earlier contracts, and any award not published to Find a Tender or Contracts Finder, will not appear.
