Fenland: contracts, suppliers and what is coming next.
Fenland is a district council in the East of England. We hold 81 of its award notices, 10 contracts due to end within 18 months, and 3 committee papers from the last 120 days that talk about buying. 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 Fenland's papers every weeknight. A value is published on 66 of those 81 award notices, so the total is a floor, not the council's spend.
Next committee meetings
The next 5 scheduled meetings at Fenland, taken from the council's own calendar. Papers usually appear five clear working days beforehand, and we read them the night they land.

Biggest suppliers
Ranked by total awarded value across every Fenland 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.
| Supplier | Awarded value | Awards |
|---|---|---|
| Dennis Eagle Limited | £1.6m | 4 |
| Alliance Leisure Services Limited | £1.0m | 1 |
| Tivoli | £600,000 | 1 |
| Atkins Ltd | £532,145 | 1 |
| Barclays Bank PLC / TA Barclaycard Payments | £400,000 | 1 |
Largest awards of the last 12 months
The biggest awards Fenland 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.
| Award | Supplier | Value | Route |
|---|---|---|---|
| Riba Stages 1 -4 for Multiple Leisure Centre Refurbishments | Alliance Leisure Services Limited | £1.0m | Framework call-off |
| Horticultural Services Contract | Tivoli | £600,000 | Restricted |
| Purchase of 2 Refuse Vehicles | Dennis Eagle UK | £463,800 | Framework call-off |
| Construction of March Public Toilets | Probus Construction Limited | £304,605 | Open |
| Maintenance and Transactional Services for the Income Management Systems for the Council. | Capita Business Services | £240,000 | Framework call-off |
How the money is awarded
29% of Fenland's awarded value went through open competition and 3% 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 62% (£7.0m)
- Competed 29% (£3.2m)
- Other/Unspecified 6% (£683,920)
- Direct 3% (£301,870)
Contracts expiring within 18 months
The 5 largest by value on record for Fenland, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 31 Oct 2026 | 1 | Horticultural Services Contract | Tivoli | £600,000 |
| 31 Dec 2026 | 3 | Microsoft 365 Licensing & Subscription | Phoenix Software Limited | £244,314 |

Procurement radar
Committee papers Fenland published in the last four months whose title uses the language of buying: a tender, an award, an extension, a gateway report, a waiver, or a procurement strategy, policy or performance report. It is a title match, so the odd paper lands here on a word rather than a decision.
| Meeting | Paper | Committee |
|---|---|---|
| 27 Jul 2026 | ARMC Report Procurement Exemptions Q1 2026-27The exemption was sought to suspend formal tendering procedures because officers supported by the procurement manager believe that this project estimated at circa £200K to £250K is attractive to our local supply chain. | Audit and Risk Management Committee |
| 15 Jun 2026 | Cabinet - Procurement of Cleaning Services - Updated 05.06.26In this instance, the Councils own code of procurement allows us to approve the use of another authority’s procurement process to compliantly tender under the Procurement Act on our behalf. | Cabinet |

Where Fenland 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 Fenland. 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 Fenland's own published papers, at https://moderngov.fenland.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 Fenland'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.
