How many postal and telecoms services contracts expire in 2028?

203 UK public sector postal and telecoms services contracts have a published end date in 2028, let by 148 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 Q1 2028, the buyer is likely to be scoping the replacement in the months before.
