Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about governance risk and compliance, data protection officer, anti-money laundering, financial crime, compliance auditing services, regulatory compliance services in the UK public sector.
How do I find compliance contracts in the UK public sector?
Two routes. Search the portals for live compliance tenders, or get in earlier by tracking the buyers who are about to run one. Stotles pulls notices from 100+ portals into one place, and platform-wide there are 2,137 tenders open right now across every category.
For compliance specifically, most of the record is awarded work: 187 of the 424 matching notices are awards. So the contract expiry dates and the buyers behind them are the useful part, not the open list.
What compliance work do public sector buyers actually tender for?
Four recurring shapes. Outsourced data protection officer services, often shared across several councils or health bodies. Governance, risk and compliance software platforms. Anti-money laundering and financial crime transaction monitoring, which comes mainly from regulators and financial bodies. And compliance auditing services, including accessibility and regulatory audits.
Estates compliance is a separate market. Gas safety, electrical testing and building inspection use the word compliance constantly but sit on other pages.
What CPV codes cover compliance procurement?
The closest are 48170000 (Compliance software package) and 72212170 (Compliance software development services). 79212110 (Corporate governance rating services) turns up on GRC tenders too.
All three are narrow. Alongside the keyword filter this page runs on, 48170000 returns 11 notices and 72212170 returns 7, so searching by code alone would miss most of the market. Auditing services (79212000) and legal advisory and information services (79140000) carry a good share of the rest.
How big are public sector compliance contracts?
Mid-market rather than transformation-scale. Stotles' 2026 Supplier Benchmark Report found 58% of government contracts fall in the £50k to £1m bracket, and compliance sits comfortably in that band: shared DPO retainers and audit engagements rather than multi-year programmes.
GRC platform rollouts are the larger end. There are 37 pre-tender notices on record for this filter, which is where those tend to surface first.
Is there much open compliance work right now?
Not much, and that is worth knowing before you build a pipeline around it. This is an award-heavy category: of 424 matching notices, 187 are awards and 37 are pre-tender. Open tenders are rare here and they close fast.
The practical approach is to watch the pre-tender pipeline and the expiry dates on contracts already let. Platform-wide, 39,710 awarded contracts are due to expire in the next twelve months.
