Contracts awarded 07/11/2025 to 07/11/2026, each counted once: 93,009 contracts. Value is the published value of single-supplier contracts up to £1bn, in pounds (£270.0bn): framework ceilings, which repeat on every supplier, and the few larger figures, which are almost all ceilings or errors, are left out.
