Forecasting Tenders

See open forecasting tenders and awarded contracts for the UK public sector.

Buyers either commission a model, demand and capacity forecasts for a hospital, passenger and revenue forecasts for a rail or ferry operator, financial forecasts for a council budget, or they buy the software that runs it. Across every stage, 645 notices match these terms, 314 of them awards and 67 at pre-tender.

Only 4 sit at the open stage. Forecasting is rarely its own tender: it arrives inside a data consultancy brief, a finance system replacement or a transport framework. The awards are where the pipeline is.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about demand forecasting, financial forecasting, revenue forecasting, forecasting model, forecasting software, forecasting solution, demand modelling, demand and capacity modelling in the UK public sector.

  • How do I find forecasting contracts in the UK?

    Two ways in. Search the portals for what is open, or move earlier and read the buyer's own plans first. Stotles pulls notices from 100+ portals into one search, and platform-wide, 0 notices were added in the last seven days. With only 4 forecasting notices open at the open stage, the pre-tender pipeline and the award history matter more than the live list: they tell you who has already bought forecasting work and roughly when they will buy it again.

  • What kinds of forecasting work do public buyers tender for?

    Demand forecasting is the biggest slice. NHS trusts model demand and capacity for new facilities, transport bodies forecast passenger and vehicle numbers, councils project housing need. Financial forecasting is the other half: budget and revenue projections for finance teams. Some notices commission a one-off model from consultants, others buy forecasting software as a package. 314 of the 645 notices on record are awards, so the buying history runs deeper than the open pipeline.

  • What CPV codes cover forecasting contracts?

    Three are worth watching. 48460000 (Analytical, scientific, mathematical or forecasting software package) returns 19 notices alongside this page's keyword filter, 72212462 (Mathematical or forecasting software development services) returns 14, and 71311200 (Transport systems consultancy services) returns 35, which is where passenger and traffic forecasting lands. Coding is patchy on forecasting notices, so this page filters on keywords rather than CPV codes.

  • Why are so few forecasting tenders open at once?

    Because forecasting is usually a component rather than a contract. It arrives inside a data consultancy brief, a finance system replacement or a transport advisory framework, and the notice gets titled after the bigger thing. Only 4 notices from this filter sit at the open stage, against 314 awards and 67 at pre-tender. Watching pre-market engagement is the practical way in.

  • Do frameworks matter for forecasting contracts?

    They do at the software and consultancy end. 44% of suppliers name frameworks as their main route to market (Stotles 2026 Supplier Benchmark Report), and forecasting work often reaches a supplier as a call-off under a wider data, finance or transport advisory agreement rather than as its own open tender. Worth checking before you chase the open notices: the agreement you need to be on may already be awarded.
