Welwyn Hatfield: contracts, suppliers and what is coming next.
Welwyn Hatfield is a district council in the East of England. We hold 75 of its award notices, 13 contracts due to end within 18 months, and 1 committee paper 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 Welwyn Hatfield's papers every weeknight. A value is published on 3 of those 75 award notices, so the total is a floor, not the council's spend.

Biggest suppliers

Contracts expiring within 18 months
The 5 largest by value on record for Welwyn Hatfield, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 Sep 2026 | under 1 | WHC - Estate Services - AWARD | Brasier Freeth LLP | not stated |
| 10 Oct 2026 | under 1 | WHC - Supply of mowers - AWARD | P Tuckwell Ltd | not stated |
| 30 Nov 2026 | 2 | Collection and Disposal of Abandoned Vehicles - AWARD | ASM Auto Recycling | not stated |

Procurement radar
Committee papers Welwyn Hatfield 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 18 Jun 2026 | Procurement of Block Cleaning - CHP 18.6.26Further resident involvement will be through the Resident Panel, which will help agree performance standards and review tender submissions. | Cabinet Housing Panel |

Where Welwyn Hatfield 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 Welwyn Hatfield. 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 Welwyn Hatfield's own published papers, at https://democracy.welhat.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 Welwyn Hatfield'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.
