Brighton and Hove: which contracts run out next, and who holds them.
Brighton and Hove is a unitary authority in the South East. We hold 587 of its award notices, and 82 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 Brighton and Hove's papers every weeknight. A value is published on 460 of those 587 award notices, so the total is a floor, not the council's spend.

Biggest suppliers
Ranked by total awarded value across every Brighton and Hove award notice we hold. Values on multi-supplier frameworks are shared across the suppliers named on them, so a place on a large framework does not inflate a single firm.

| Knightsbridge Property Services | £149m | 3 |
| Guidant Group | £38.4m | 1 |
| Cater Link Limited | £28.0m | 1 |

| J.t.mackley & Co.limited | £12.5m | 2 |
Largest awards of the last 12 months
The biggest awards Brighton and Hove has notified in the last year. Awards sharing a title and end date are collapsed into a single row, so a framework or dynamic purchasing system appears once rather than once per supplier.

How the money is awarded
33% of Brighton and Hove's awarded value went through open competition and 2% was awarded directly. Directly awarded work is the part of the market that never reaches a competitive notice, so it is the part you have to see coming upstream.
- Framework/DPS 63% (£320m)
- Competed 33% (£166m)
- Other/Unspecified 3% (£14.8m)
- Direct 2% (£8.2m)
Contracts expiring within 18 months
The 5 largest by value on record for Brighton and Hove, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 Sep 2027 | 12 | BHCC Managed Services for Temporary Agency Resources | Guidant Group | £38.4m |
| 31 Oct 2027 | 13 | BHCC Penalty Charge Enforcement Software | Taranto Systems Limited | £5.6m |
| 10 Dec 2026 | 2 | BHCC - Hollingbury Library Redevelopment | Trinity Homes UK Ltd | £3.2m |
| 30 Sep 2026 | under 1 | BHCC Cashless Parking Service | Paybyphone Limited | £2.2m |
| 23 Jul 2027 | 10 | BHCC Home to School Transport Routes (Minibus TS) | Minibus Travel Services Ltd | £1.4m |

Procurement radar
Committee papers Brighton and Hove 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. Brighton and Hove published 357 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.
Nearby councils
Suppliers rarely sell to one council alone. These are the authorities next door, and the ones covering the same ground at a different tier.

Where Brighton and Hove 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 Brighton and Hove. 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 Brighton and Hove's own published papers, at https://democracy.brighton-hove.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 Brighton and Hove'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.
