Sheffield: which contracts run out next, and who holds them.
Sheffield is a metropolitan borough in Yorkshire and the Humber. We hold 1,348 of its award notices, 112 contracts due to end within 18 months, and 5 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 Sheffield's papers every weeknight. A value is published on 956 of those 1,348 award notices, so the total is a floor, not the council's spend.

Biggest suppliers
Ranked by total awarded value across every Sheffield 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Humankind Charity | £104m | 3 |
| Henry Boot Construction Ltd | £42.4m | 1 |
| RE:GEN Group Ltd | £42.4m | 1 |
| Standard Fuels | £36.5m | 2 |
| McLaughlin & Harvey | £34.8m | 2 |
Largest awards of the last 12 months
The biggest awards Sheffield 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| CAPITAL DELIVERY SERVICE CAPITAL PROGRAMME DELIVERY PARTNER 2025 - 2030 | Turner & Townsend Limited | £25.0m | Restricted |
| NEWSTEAD GENERAL NEEDS HOUSING | Esh Construction Ltd | £18.9m | Restricted |

| Adult Social Care Implementation | Newton Consulting Ltd | £9.1m | Direct award |
| COUNCIL HOUSING ADAPTATIONS WORKS PROGRAMME 2026-29 | Wates Property Servcies Ltd | £8.9m | Framework call-off |
How the money is awarded
64% of Sheffield's awarded value went through open competition and 11% was awarded directly. A further 21% 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 64% (£634m)
- Other/Unspecified 21% (£207m)
- Direct 11% (£109m)
- Framework/DPS 4% (£39.9m)
Contracts expiring within 18 months
The 5 largest by value on record for Sheffield, 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.

Procurement radar
Committee papers Sheffield 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 Sheffield 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 Sheffield. 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 Sheffield's own published papers, at https://democracy.sheffield.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 Sheffield'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.
