Contract Expiry Tracker UK
See which UK public sector contracts are expiring in the next 12 months. Identify re-tenders before they are published. Engage buyers while competitors are still waiting for the ITT.
When a government contract expires, a re-tender follows. The question is whether you know about it 12 months out — or the day it goes live.
30 days
Imminent
Re-tenders likely already published or imminent. Last chance to find them.
90 days
Soon
Re-tenders may already be live. High priority for immediate action.
180 days
Planning
Start buyer engagement. Prepare capability evidence. Monitor for ITT.
365 days
Pipeline
Identify targets. Research incumbents. Build relationships early.
How to use the expiry tracker
Why early visibility matters
Influence the specification
Buyers who know you before the ITT are more likely to write specifications that reflect market capability. Early engagement shapes what gets evaluated.
Prepare better bids
Writing a bid response in 3 weeks is harder than writing one you have been preparing for 3 months. Expiry tracking gives you that time.
Understand the incumbent
Knowing who holds the contract, what they charged, and how long they have been there shapes your competitive strategy before you write a single word.
Who uses the Contract Expiry Tracker
Any supplier bidding for UK public sector work benefits from expiry intelligence — but these sectors find it most valuable.
IT & Technology Suppliers
Government IT contracts are some of the most regularly re-tendered in the public sector. Track expiring technology contracts across central government, NHS, and local authorities — and be ready when the re-tender lands.
Facilities Management Companies
FM contracts run for years and are high value. Knowing which council or NHS trust is about to re-tender a cleaning, maintenance, or estates contract gives you months to build relationships and refine your approach.
Healthcare Suppliers
NHS procurement is complex and spread across dozens of organisations. PSIP aggregates expiring NHS contracts from trusts, ICBs, and NHS Supply Chain frameworks into one filtered view.
Bid Writers & Consultancies
If you manage bidding for multiple clients, PSIP's contract expiry data is an essential business development tool — helping you identify opportunities for clients months before the tender goes live.
Framework Expiry Tracking — Included
PSIP does not just track individual contracts. It also tracks the expiry of major public sector frameworks — including Crown Commercial Service (CCS) frameworks, NHS Supply Chain agreements, and YPO. When a framework is due to re-open, you need to be ready to apply for inclusion.
Procurement Act 2023 update: Under the new Act (in force from 24 February 2025), buyers are legally required to publish pipeline notices at least 12 months before contracts go to tender. PSIP aggregates all pipeline notices alongside expiry data, giving you the earliest possible view of upcoming opportunities. Read what changed on 1 April 2026 →
Frequently asked questions
What is a contract expiry tracker?
A contract expiry tracker shows you public sector contracts that are due to expire within a set timeframe — 30, 90, 180, or 365 days. When a UK government contract expires, the buyer typically re-tenders. Knowing about an expiry 6–12 months in advance gives you time to engage the buyer before the ITT is published.
How accurate is the contract expiry data?
Expiry dates are taken directly from contract award notices published on the official UK procurement portals — Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales, and eTendersNI. Accuracy depends on what buyers publish. Some contracts have extensions or early terminations that may not always be reflected in public data. We recommend using expiry data as a planning tool rather than a definitive schedule.
How far in advance can I see expiring UK government contracts?
PSIP shows contracts expiring within 30, 90, 180, or 365 days. The 365-day view gives you a full year of pipeline visibility — particularly useful for planning framework applications and buyer engagement activity. Under the Procurement Act 2023, buyers must also publish pipeline notices at least 12 months before contracts go to tender, extending your forward visibility even further.
Can I filter the contract expiry tracker by sector or category?
Yes. You can filter the expiry tracker by CPV code, buyer name, source portal, and contract value to focus on the segments most relevant to your business. This works across all UK procurement portals simultaneously.
Does PSIP track framework expiry as well as individual contracts?
Yes. PSIP tracks both individual contract expiry and major public sector framework expiry — including Crown Commercial Service frameworks, NHS Supply Chain agreements, and YPO. Knowing when a framework is due to re-open lets you prepare your application well in advance.
What should I do when I spot an expiring contract?
When you identify a relevant expiring contract, research the current incumbent using PSIP's competitor tracker, contact the buyer's commercial lead to express interest, and set an alert for the buyer and CPV code combination so you are notified when the re-tender is published.
