Turning an expiring contract into a win

A practical sequence for challengers.

  • Read the original award notice and contract documents to understand scope, term, extension options and the evaluation criteria that won last time.
  • Register on the buyer's portal and answer any preliminary market engagement notice. It is often your only chance to shape the specification.
  • Gather evidence the evaluators will want: carrier registration and site permits; recycling and diversion rates from comparable contracts, with method.
  • Price TUPE properly. On a re-tender, the incumbent's staff usually transfer, and their terms drive your labour cost.
  • Plan mobilisation in detail. Evaluators weigh the risk of changing supplier, so a credible handover plan often decides close contests. Try the free mobilisation plan builder.

How this data works

Plain rules, so you can judge how far to rely on it.

  • Awards come from official contract award and contract details notices on Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales.
  • A notice counts as FM when its CPV classification or title places it in one of 14 FM, M&E and building services categories. Supply-only goods contracts are excluded.
  • The supplier shown is the first named supplier on the notice. Frameworks and multi-lot awards can name many suppliers, so check the notice for the full list.
  • Contract end dates are the period stated in the notice. Extension options are often not exercised, or are exercised without a new notice, so treat end dates as a planning signal.
  • The likely re-tender window is 12 to 6 months before the stated end date, which is when most UK buyers run market engagement and publish the new tender.
  • Values are as published, usually excluding VAT. Framework values are often ceilings shared across suppliers, not guaranteed spend.
