North Somerset Council: which contracts run out next, and who holds them.
North Somerset Council is a unitary authority in the South West. We hold 578 of its award notices, 45 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 North Somerset Council's papers every weeknight. A value is published on 495 of those 578 award notices, so the total is a floor, not the council's spend.

Biggest suppliers
Ranked by total awarded value across every North Somerset Council 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Galliford Try Construction Limited | £71.4m | 2 |
| Medequip Assistive Technology Ltd | £42.0m | 1 |
| Octavius Infrastructure Ltd | £26.5m | 3 |
| Sirona Care & Health | £25.0m | 2 |
| Stonewood Partnerships Limited | £20.4m | 2 |
Largest awards of the last 12 months
The biggest awards North Somerset Council 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Direct Award for Temporary Agency Staff | Comensura Limited | £16.0m | Open |
| Birnbeck Pier 2A Landward Works | Smith & Brenson Ltd | £3.4m | Open |
| MetroWest Phase 1B Highways and Bridges Design and Construction Contract - Award of Stage 2 Pac… | Amalgamated Construction Ltd | £1.9m | Open |
| Send Resource Base at Hans Price Academy | Western Building Systems Ltd | £1.6m | Framework call-off |
| North Somerset Supported Bus Services (August 2026 - Batch 1)2 award notices, shown once | framework, 2 suppliers | £1.5m | Other |
How the money is awarded
52% of North Somerset Council's awarded value went through open competition and 2% was awarded directly. A further 42% sits on notices that do not state a route at all. 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.
- Competed 52% (£227m)
- Other/Unspecified 42% (£185m)
- Framework/DPS 4% (£18.0m)
- Direct 2% (£9.4m)
Contracts expiring within 18 months
The 5 largest by value on record for North 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9 Jun 2027 | 8 | Design and Build of Banwell Bypass and Highway Improvements (Stage 2) | Galliford Try Construction Limited | £66.9m |
| 15 Oct 2027 | 13 | Design and Build of Winterstoke Road Bridge and Adjacent Highway in Weston-super-Mare | Octavius Infrastructure Limited | £25.4m |
| 31 Mar 2027 | 6 | 0-19 Public Health Nursing & Healthy Child Programme | Sirona Care & Health | £25.0m |

Procurement radar
Committee papers North Somerset Council 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.

Where North 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 North 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 North Somerset Council's own published papers, at https://n-somerset.moderngov.co.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 North 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.
