Funding Tenders

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

Funding procurement is mostly buyers hiring someone to move their money out of the door: administering a grant programme, recruiting assessors, auditing what was spent, and running the system that tracks it. Bid writing and funding advisory work sit on the other side of the same market, helping applicants get the money in.

991 notices match this filter on record. 449 are awarded, 101 sit at pre-tender, and only 2 are open right now. The award history is where the useful reading is.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about grant administration, grant management, bid writing, grant audit, grant assessment, funding advisory, funding bid support, grant application support in the UK public sector.

  • How do I find funding and grant administration contracts in the UK?

    Two routes. Watch the portals for live tenders, or start earlier and read what buyers publish before a notice exists: fund launches, grant offer letters, programme business cases. Stotles pulls notices from 100+ portals into one search, and platform-wide there are 2,198 open now. On this topic the live pipeline is thin at any given moment, 2 open against 449 awarded, so watching pre-tender signals beats refreshing a search.

  • What work do funding tenders actually cover?

    Four clusters repeat across the notices. End-to-end administration of a grant programme. Assessment work: recruiting expert assessors, running moderation and interview stages. Grant audit and assurance, usually for research and other externally funded projects. And grant management systems, the software and CRM builds that track applications and outcomes. That last cluster is the biggest surprise in the sample: IT and software codes appear more often than consultancy ones.

  • What CPV codes are used for funding and grant contracts?

    There is no single funding code, so buyers spread these notices across business and IT classifications. The three seen most alongside this filter are 79410000 (Business and management consultancy services), 79210000 (Accounting and auditing services) and 72000000 (IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support). This page filters on keywords rather than codes, because plenty of on-intent notices carry no code at all.

  • How many funding tenders and awards are on record?

    991 notices match across every stage: 449 awarded, 101 at pre-tender, 2 open. Four were published in the last seven days. Awards dominate because most of this category is programme delivery work that gets recommissioned rather than advertised continuously. Platform-wide, 0 notices were added last week.

  • Which buyers procure grant administration and bid writing?

    Three groups turn up again and again in the sample. Councils and combined authorities administering local growth, community and decarbonisation funds. Universities and research bodies buying grant audit and assurance. Central government departments and arms-length bodies procuring grant management platforms and managed services.
