Web Tenders and Contracts

Search live tenders across the portals councils, universities and NHS trusts publish to directly, or move earlier and read the buyer's own strategy and digital transformation documents before a notice goes out. Stotles indexes both: the open and awarded notices below, plus the budget papers and board minutes that signal a website rebuild before it becomes a tender. Platform-wide, 0 notices were added to Stotles in the last seven days, so checking back weekly is worth it.

Most notices bundle design with build, hosting and a multi-year support period rather than splitting them into separate lots. A council replacing its site usually asks for accessibility compliance (WCAG), content migration from an old CMS, and training for an internal web team. Universities and arms length bodies more often add a content management system replacement on top, since their existing CMS is going out of vendor support.

The two codes that turn up most often are 72413000 (World wide web (www) site design services) and 72415000 (World wide web (www) site operation host services). A narrower one, 72212224 (Web page editing software development services), covers CMS and page-building software specifically.

Stotles is tracking 2,912 web tenders and contracts to date, with 1,231 already awarded and 6 open for bids now. Awarded volume is the steadier number to watch: open counts move week to week as notices close and new ones land.

Some do. A share of the notices in this dataset call off the CCS Digital Specialists and Programmes framework (RM6190), which several councils and arms length bodies used for website development, hosting and support work. Plenty of buyers still run a standalone open tender instead, particularly smaller councils and single-site rebuilds.
