Bath and North East Somerset Council: which contracts run out next, and who holds them.
Bath and North East Somerset Council is a unitary authority in the South West. We hold 712 of its award notices, and 54 contracts due to end within 18 months. Everything here comes from public records: award notices the council itself published, and the papers it publishes before each committee meeting.
Data updated: 20 September 2026 (committee papers) | 18 September 2026 (award notices)
GovLeads reads Bath and North East Somerset Council's papers every weeknight. A value is published on 560 of those 712 award notices, so the total is a floor, not the council's spend.

Contracts expiring within 18 months
The 5 largest by value on record for Bath and North East Somerset Council, of those with an end date inside 18 months. A re-procurement decision normally reaches a committee months before the contract itself runs out, which is the point at which scope is still moveable, so the months-left column matters as much as the value.
| Ends | Months left | Contract | Supplier | Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 21 Jan 2028 | 16 | Care and Support at Hygge Park and Sulis Down | Affinity Trust | £5.0m |
| 31 Mar 2027 | 6 | Manvers Street Remediation WORKS Phase 1 ECI and Phase 2 Build (PAGABO CIVILS FRAMEWORK) | M Group Highways Ltd | £4.0m |

Procurement radar
Committee papers Bath and North East Somerset Council published in the last four months whose title uses the language of buying.
No procurement decision reached a committee here in the last four months. Bath and North East Somerset Council published 197 papers in that window and none of them is titled as a tender, an award, an extension or a waiver.
That is common and it is not a gap in our reading: most councils delegate day-to-day buying to officers, and only the larger decisions reach a committee with a paper to their name. The award notices above are the fuller record of what this council actually buys.

Where Bath and North East Somerset Council spends most
The service areas taking the largest share of awarded value here. Each one has its own page explaining what we watch for.
Where this comes from
Awards, suppliers and expiry dates come from award notices published to Contracts Finder and Find a Tender by Bath and North East Somerset. The award data set was last refreshed on 18 September 2026, so notices published since then are not yet counted here. Values are as notified; where a notice names several suppliers, the value is shared across them.
Committee papers and meeting dates come from Bath and North East Somerset Council's own published papers, at https://democracy.bathnes.gov.uk. Every paper linked above is on the council's own site. Committee-paper figures were extracted on 20 September 2026.
What we leave out. A notice naming more than one buying authority is excluded, because it does not say how the value splits between them. So are notices from bodies that share this council's name but are separate organisations, such as the local college or NHS trust. Both would otherwise be counted here as Bath and North East Somerset's.
Nothing on this page is modelled, estimated or inferred. Every number is a count or a sum over those two public sources. Where a figure would be a guess, it is left out.
