Wigan: which contracts run out next, and who holds them.
Wigan is a metropolitan borough in the North West. We hold 612 of its award notices, 46 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 Wigan's papers every weeknight. A value is published on 441 of those 612 award notices, so the total is a floor, not the council's spend.
Next committee meetings

Biggest suppliers
Ranked by total awarded value across every Wigan 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Fuel Oils Limited | £126m | 2 |
| Agilisys | £79.0m | 2 |
| A.Connolly | £34.5m | 9 |
| British Gas Social Housing Ltd t/a PH Jones | £25.2m | 2 |
| We Are With You | £19.0m | 2 |
Largest awards of the last 12 months
The biggest awards Wigan 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Liquid Fuels Tender | Standard Fuel Oils Ltd | £125m | Framework call-off |
| Wigan Council - Planned Cyclical Maintenance4 award notices, shown once | framework, 2 suppliers | £29.5m | Other |
| 670 - Heating Servicing and Maintenance Contract | British Gas Social Housing Ltd t/a PH Jones | £21.3m | Other |
| PSR005 - 0-19 Services: Healthy Child Programme | Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Trust | £13.9m | Direct award |
| Wigan Council Damp & Mould Remedial Works | A.Connolly | £13.6m | Other |
How the money is awarded
48% of Wigan's awarded value went through open competition and 8% was awarded directly. A further 22% 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 48% (£359m)
- Other/Unspecified 22% (£168m)
- Framework/DPS 22% (£161m)
- Direct 8% (£58.6m)
Contracts expiring within 18 months
The 5 largest by value on record for Wigan, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 21 Nov 2026 | 2 | Liquid Fuels Tender | Standard Fuel Oils Ltd | £125m |
| 31 Dec 2026 | 3 | Wigan Council - Demolition and Construction at Logwood Place, Wigan | Seddon Construction Ltd | £14.5m |
| 31 Mar 2027 | 6 | 265.4 (Lot 4 of The Deal 2030 Care and Support Ethical Framework) - Extra Care5 award notices, shown once | framework, 5 suppliers | £10.4m |

Procurement radar
Committee papers Wigan 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 7 Sep 2026 | Mission Driven ProcurementSeveral well-attended pre-market engagement events have taken place this year ahead of significant tender opportunities being published, including the Community Living Ethical Framework, and the Housing Repairs and Maintenance Service, which was attended by 200+ suppliers. | Progress with Unity Scrutiny Committee |
| 4 Sep 2026 | Standish Woodfold Primary - Expansion - Tender Acceptance | Director - Place |
| 2 Sep 2026 | PA054 - Community Living Ethical FrameworkThe Framework will be the Council’s primary mechanism for commissioning with confidence ethical providers who deliver strengths based, community focused support, while recognising and valuing the essential contribution of their workforce. | Portfolio Holder for Adult Social Care and Health (Deputy Leader) |

Where Wigan 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 Wigan. 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 Wigan's own published papers, at https://democracy.wigan.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 Wigan'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.
