Development Tenders
See open development tenders and awarded contracts for the UK public sector. The filter behind this page matches 1,118 notices mentioning front-end, back-end, full stack, portal, Drupal, WordPress or JavaScript development, and 398 of them are already awarded.
Two kinds of buying sit side by side here. Some notices are whole builds: a council website, an online schools portal, a headless content management system. Others are one developer role called off a staffing framework. Read the title before you read the value.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about front-end development, back-end development, full stack development, portal development, backend development, frontend development, drupal development, wordpress development, javascript development, progressive web app in the UK public sector.
What kind of development work do public sector buyers tender for?
Everything between a single front-end developer called off a staffing framework and a full website and portal build. Within this filter, 515 notices mention front-end development, 369 mention back-end development and 209 mention full stack work. Portal builds are a steady stream of their own at 111 notices, and named stacks show up too: 49 for Drupal, 21 for WordPress, 20 for JavaScript.
How many development contracts have already been awarded?
398 of the 1,118 notices in this filter are award notices, so most of this work has already been placed. Awarded records still repay reading. They name the incumbent and the expiry date, which is what tells you when the work comes back round. Platform-wide, 39,682 awarded contracts expire in the next twelve months.
Why do so few development notices show as open?
This work is bought in bursts, and the awarded and closed records outnumber the live ones by a wide margin: 398 notices in this filter are awarded and 15 sit at pre-tender, against almost none currently open. Set an alert rather than refreshing a search. Platform-wide, 0 notices were added last week across every category.
Are CPV codes a reliable way to find development tenders?
Not on their own. The notices here carry a wide spread of codes: 93 sit under 72000000 (IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support), 34 under 72413000 (World wide web (www) site design services) and 23 under 79620000 (Supply services of personnel including temporary staff). That last one matters. A real slice of this market is contract developer resource rather than a software purchase.
How do suppliers usually win public sector development work?
Through frameworks more often than through open competition. 44% of suppliers told the 2026 Stotles Supplier Survey that frameworks are their main route to market, and the notices bear that out: digital delivery frameworks with a web development lot, then call-offs against them. Stotles indexes notices from 100+ portals, so the call-offs surface alongside the parent agreement.
