How many education and training contracts expire in 2027?

2,700 UK public sector education and training contracts have a published end date in 2027, let by 552 buying organisations. Only contracts whose award notice gives an end date are counted, so the real number is higher.

When should I approach the buyer?

Re-procurement usually starts three to six months before a contract ends, and earlier for anything complex. For a contract ending in Q3 2027, the buyer is likely to be scoping the replacement in the months before.
