Feasibility Tenders

Two routes. Watch the portals for published feasibility notices, or move earlier and read what buyers are planning before a notice exists. Stotles aggregates notices from 100+ portals alongside board papers, capital programmes and budget files, so a feasibility commission often shows up as a funded project well before it is advertised. Platform-wide, 2,146 notices are open now.

The two that matter are 71241000 (Feasibility study, advisory service, analysis) and 79314000 (Feasibility study). Buyers also file this work under broader engineering and management consultancy codes, which is why a code filter alone misses so much: of the 5,777 notices matching this page's keywords, only 1,773 carry any of the codes seen in our sample. The keywords do the work here.

Awards dominate. Of 5,777 notices on this filter, 2,785 are awarded contracts and 387 sit at pre-tender, against 23 open. Short advisory commissions are awarded and closed fast, so the open list is always thin. Read the awards instead: they show which buyers keep coming back for studies and how each one was scoped.

Councils, combined authorities, NHS bodies, universities, water companies and transport operators all buy it, almost always ahead of a capital scheme rather than as standalone research. The Top buyers block on this page is built from a live query each time it loads, so it reflects who has been active on this filter today rather than a list fixed when the page was written.

Often, yes. Several notices in this filter appoint one consultant to carry a scheme from feasibility through concept design, and even where the next stage is retendered the study author understands the site better than anyone bidding cold. Treat the study as a way into the capital project behind it, and keep tracking the buyer after the award.
