Large Language Model (LLM) Tenders

See open large language model tenders and awarded contracts for the UK public sector.

To date, 23 notices meet a precise large language model filter on Stotles: 11 awarded, 3 at pre-tender stage, none open. Buyers write these into content platforms, AI workstation procurement and AI safety research, more often than a standalone LLM contract line. Education and central government bodies make up most of the activity.

The bare acronym LLM is not a safe filter: it also matches lease management contracts and Master of Laws degrees, so this page filters on the spelled-out term instead.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about large language model in the UK public sector.

  • What counts as a large language model tender in the UK public sector?

    Large language model notices cover content platforms built to align model output with national standards, AI workstation procurement, benchmarking and evaluation work for AI safety research, translation support for that research, and pilots that put a large language model into a council's own systems. Education bodies and central government departments buy most of it, usually through general IT, software or R&D routes rather than a dedicated LLM category.

  • How many large language model contracts and tenders are there in the UK?

    23 notices meet a precise large language model filter on Stotles to date: 11 awarded and 3 at pre-tender stage. None are open right now, and the newest match was published in January 2026, so the visible pipeline is thin against how much attention the technology gets.

  • Does the acronym LLM always mean large language model in a tender title?

    No. LLM is also the Department for Work and Pensions' name for its Landlord and Lease Management estates contract, a Master of Laws law degree that appears throughout solicitor-training procurements, and a Local Liaison Manager role on at least one highways scheme. Searching on the bare initialism pulls in property management and legal training as often as AI work, so this page filters on the spelled-out phrase large language model instead.

  • What CPV codes cover large language model contracts?

    There is no dedicated CPV code for large language models. Notices that pass this filter carry general codes instead, most often 72000000 (IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support), 73000000 (Research and development services and related consultancy services) and 72212190 (Educational software development services), alongside whatever code fits the rest of the contract.

  • How do I find large language model tenders before they are formally published?

    Read buyers' AI adoption plans, digital transformation strategies and pre-market engagement notices ahead of a formal tender. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.

  • Do UK public bodies buy large language models through dedicated tenders?

    Rarely as a standalone category. A large language model tends to show up as a lot inside a bigger digital, research or software programme, such as a content platform contract or an AI safety benchmarking framework, rather than as its own procurement route.
