My first contract finishes end of this month, when I started I was told there would be 90% of renewal, however as it is public sector they have to wait on budgets etc. Whats the normal time frame of getting told you're getting extended, there's only a week and a half left!

There aren't any rules, except the ones you make for yourself.
Clients sometimes leave it up until the very last couple of days, usually because they're disorganised but sometimes in the hope that you'll feel the pressure more than they will, and you'll give them a discount. Bless. -
When I used to do FO jobs they'd sometimes turn up with the renewal paperwork several months after I had started. They are a right bunch of muppets, so don't worry about it. I found just not turning up on Monday would concentrate the hive-mind sometimes as early as the week-Wednesdays afternoon.Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

Don't look good.
If this isn't just bureaucracy (i.e. extension sitting waiting for approval in the in-tray, after an informal nod) then start looking pronto.I'm alright JackComment
