ITIL Tenders and Contracts

This page covers ITIL-aligned IT service management work: ITSM platform and service desk software procurement, IT service management consultancy delivered to ITIL good practice, and ITIL Foundation or practitioner certification training. It does not include the wider run of general IT services contracts that never reference ITIL or an ITSM platform.

Central government departments, NHS trusts, councils, universities, police and fire services, and housing associations all run ITIL and ITSM contracts in the corpus, most often for a service desk or ITSM platform replacement, an ITIL-aligned managed service, or staff certification training.

The most common codes in the corpus are 48000000 (Software package and information systems), 72222300 (Information technology services), 72000000 (IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support) and 72600000 (Computer support and consultancy services). Buyers often combine two or three of these on a single notice.

Search live ITIL tenders on Stotles, or move earlier: read a buyer's IT or digital strategy for signs of an ITSM platform retender before it opens. Platform-wide, 2,135 tenders are open on Stotles right now, ITIL and ITSM contracts included. Many of the larger ITSM deals run through cross-government frameworks such as G-Cloud rather than as standalone tenders, and Stotles' 2026 Supplier Survey found 44% of suppliers now use frameworks as their main route to public sector work.

ITSM platform and service desk contracts in the corpus mostly run as multi-year call-offs, three to five years being typical, taken from frameworks such as RM6098. ITIL certification and Foundation training courses are much shorter, usually a single delivery of a few days rather than an ongoing contract.
