How many catering and accommodation contracts expire in 2029?

355 UK public sector catering and accommodation contracts have a published end date in 2029, let by 259 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 2029, the buyer is likely to be scoping the replacement in the months before.
