Facilities Management Contracts and Tenders

Search live portals for open facilities management notices, or move earlier and track the buyers themselves through their budget papers and estates strategies on Stotles. Platform-wide, 2,145 tenders are open right now, and the facilities management ones sit inside that count once the sector filter is applied. Watching a buyer's pipeline ahead of a tender gives more time to build a compliant, priced bid.

Hard FM covers the building itself: M&E maintenance, electrical and fire safety repairs, roofing, and statutory compliance work. Soft FM covers the services running inside it, cleaning, grounds maintenance, catering, portering, and security patrols. Many buyers procure the two separately, and a single estate can run a hard FM contract alongside two or three soft FM ones covering the same site.

The core codes are 79993100 (Facilities management services) and 79993000 (Building and facilities management services). Combined with the keyword filter here, they cover 121 of the 265 tracked contracts and tenders; the rest use specific trade codes instead of a general FM code, such as building maintenance, grounds maintenance, or cleaning services.

265 facilities management contracts and tenders are on record to date, 116 of them awarded and 35 currently moving through pre-tender. Most run as multi-year single-supplier contracts rather than annual re-competitions, so new notices arrive in a steady trickle rather than a seasonal rush.

Frameworks are a common route in this category: Property Services and FM frameworks recur across universities, MOJ estate contracts, and consortium buying groups. Across UK public sector suppliers generally, 44% say frameworks are their main route to market [2026], so a framework-first pipeline is worth building even outside facilities management specifically.
