Isle of Wight: who supplies it, and how much it awards without a contest.
Isle of Wight is a unitary authority in the South East. We hold 491 of its award notices, 56 contracts due to end within 18 months, and 4 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 Isle of Wight's papers every weeknight. A value is published on 369 of those 491 award notices, so the total is a floor, not the council's spend.
Next committee meetings
The next 5 scheduled meetings at Isle of Wight, 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 Isle of Wight 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 |
|---|---|---|
| MCM Construction Ltd | £13.3m | 23 |
| Phoenix Software Ltd | £5.8m | 9 |
| Morgan Sindall Construction and Infrastructure Ltd | £5.2m | 3 |
| Van Oord Uk | £5.0m | 1 |
| SSE Energy | £3.9m | 3 |
Largest awards of the last 12 months
The biggest awards Isle of Wight 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Insurances for Isle of Wight Council3 award notices, shown once | framework, 3 suppliers | £6.0m | Other |
| Microsoft Enterprise Contracts | Phoenix Software Ltd | £2.1m | Other |

| Agile Working Equipment | Stone Technologies Ltd | £651,232 | Other |

How the money is awarded
43% of Isle of Wight's awarded value went through open competition and 24% was awarded directly. A further 33% 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 43% (£43.9m)
- Other/Unspecified 33% (£34.1m)
- Direct 24% (£25.2m)
Contracts expiring within 18 months
The 5 largest by value on record for Isle of Wight, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 31 Jul 2027 | 10 | Childrens Residential Placement | Loddon School | £1.4m |
| 30 Jun 2027 | 9 | Cleaning Services for the Isle of Wight Council | nviro limited | £1.0m |
| 31 Mar 2027 | 6 | Support and Maintenance of the Education Management System (EMS) for the Isle of Wight… | Capita Business Services Limited (Capita Plc) | £787,600 |
| 25 Sep 2027 | 12 | Mainland Residential Placement 219527 | Marula Lodge Limited t/a Marula Lodge (Cornerstone Healthcare) | £568,100 |

Procurement radar
Committee papers Isle of Wight 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 Isle of Wight 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 Isle of Wight. 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 Isle of Wight's own published papers, at https://iow.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 Isle of Wight'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.
