28 since 2021, of which 7 were awarded to it as the only named supplier and 21 are shared with other suppliers, usually a place on a framework. This counts award notices published to Find a Tender and Contracts Finder, so it is a record of published awards rather than of total revenue.
When do Optimum Skills Limited contracts come up for renewal?
2 contracts held by Optimum Skills Limited have an end date within the next 18 months, the earliest on 1 Aug 2027. End dates are published in the original award notices, so they are visible well before any re-tender is advertised.
Where does this information about Optimum Skills Limited come from?
From contract award notices published by the buyers themselves to Find a Tender and Contracts Finder under the Open Government Licence. Coverage starts in 2021 and is comprehensive from 2023, so contracts awarded before then, and any award not published to those portals, will not appear.

How these figures are worked out
- The last 12 months: award notices published from 8 November 2025 to 7 November 2026, each contract counted once however many suppliers or rows it has. The same window is used everywhere on this page.
- Won work from 3 new buyers in the last 12 months: Buyers with a contract awarded to it and published since 8 November 2025, and none before. Counted by organisation, not by spelling.
- Mostly framework places: 21 of its 29 contracts name other suppliers too, usually a place on a framework. Shown when that is more than half, with at least 5.
- Since 2021: these figures count published award notices from January 2021 onward, the point at which this database begins, and are comprehensive only from 2023. Contracts awarded before then, and any work not published as a public award notice, do not appear. This is a record of published contracts, not of turnover.
- Most recent award: recorded 16 Sept 2026 (7 weeks ago).
