UK Framework Re-Tender Calendar for Suppliers (2026)

Missing a framework re-tender removes your procurement route for every buyer on that agreement until the next refresh — often four years or more.

2026 sits in a heavy renewal cycle for frameworks procured during COVID-era accelerations — many agreements signed 2020–2022 approach end or extension limits.
