Start with awarded contracts
Award notices can show who won, what the buyer bought, when the contract is expected to end, and who may be worth contacting.

How to spot renewal opportunities early
A renewal signal gives you time to learn the buyer, understand the incumbent, and start the right conversation before the new tender appears.
The best time to notice an incumbent contract is not the day it is re-tendered. It is months earlier, while there is still time to build the relationship.

What to know
Look for repeatable services
Cleaning, maintenance, care, software, security, and many professional services often renew. One-off works may not.
Use the window well
End dates, extension options, and contract terms show when to start learning how the current supplier is doing and what the buyer may need next.
