St Albans: contracts, suppliers and what is coming next.
St Albans is a district council in the East of England. We hold 100 of its award notices, 21 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 St Albans's papers every weeknight. A value is published on 95 of those 100 award notices, so the total is a floor, not the council's spend.
Next committee meetings
The next 5 scheduled meetings at St Albans, 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 St Albans 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Correct Contract Services Limited | £18.5m | 1 |
| Neilcott Construction Ltd | £4.3m | 1 |
| Parrott Construction Limited | £3.1m | 1 |
| Helix Construct Limited | £2.0m | 2 |
| Videcom Security Ltd | £1.7m | 1 |
Largest awards of the last 12 months
The biggest awards St Albans 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Abbots Avenue West Main Contract | Helix Construct Ltd | £2.0m | Framework call-off |
| Hybrid and Structured Mail Services | Ricoh UK Limited | £1.2m | Framework call-off |
| Refugee Support Services | Refugee Council | £541,120 | Framework call-off |
| Microsoft Licencing Renewal | Bytes Software Services | £354,000 | Framework call-off |
| Jubilee Square - FBH Commercial - Ground and First Floor Fabric Works | Domino Interiors Limited | £300,153 | Framework call-off |
How the money is awarded
21% of St Albans's awarded value went through open competition and under 1% 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 79% (£33.1m)
- Competed 21% (£8.6m)
- Direct under 1% (£152,360)
- Other/Unspecified under 1% (£10,880)
Contracts expiring within 18 months
The 5 largest by value on record for St Albans, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 19 Jan 2028 | 16 | Abbots Avenue West Main Contract | Helix Construct Ltd | £2.0m |
| 28 Feb 2027 | 5 | Responsive Repairs Services | Kirkman & Jourdain | £600,000 |
| 31 Mar 2027 | 6 | Revenue & Benefits Software | NEC Software Solutions UK Ltd | £506,551 |
| 1 Mar 2027 | 5 | Property Insurance Quotations in respect of Leasehold flats and Mortgage Properties | Aspen Insurance UK Ltd | £332,790 |
| 4 Sep 2027 | 11 | Housing Legal Services | Bevan Brittan LLP | £300,000 |

Procurement radar
Committee papers St Albans 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 24 Jun 2026 | Council - 24 June 2026 - HGC - Framework & Transformation SPD | Council |
| 9 Jun 2026 | PP&C - 9 June 2026 - HGC - Framework & Transformation SPD | Planning Policy & Climate Committee |

Where St Albans 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 St Albans. 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 St Albans's own published papers, at https://stalbans.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 St Albans'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.
