How these figures are worked out
- The last 12 months: award notices published from 8 November 2025 to 7 November 2026, each contract counted once however many suppliers or rows it has. The same window is used everywhere on this page.
- 1 contract ends in the next 6 months: Published end dates between 7 November 2026 and 7 May 2027, each contract counted once.
- Took on 2 new suppliers in the last 12 months: Suppliers named on a contract it awarded and published since 8 November 2025, and on none before. Counted by organisation, not by spelling.
- Most recent award: recorded 20 Oct 2026 (2 weeks ago).
- Since 2021: totals count contracts by award date from January 2021, and suppliers by organisation rather than by spelling.
