When do East Lothian Council contracts come up for renewal?

How much does East Lothian Council spend on contracts?
The median published contract value is £400k, across the 56 contracts that state a value. Published values are not added up here: a framework's value is a ceiling shared by every supplier on it, and the same value is often repeated across lots, so adding them up would overstate what is spent.

How these figures are worked out
- The last 12 months: award notices published from 9 November 2025 to 8 November 2026, each contract counted once however many suppliers or rows it has. The same window is used everywhere on this page.
- Year on year: Its published contract awards fell, then stayed broadly level in the last year. Contracts by publication date in the 12 months to 8 Nov 2026 and the two years before it, oldest first: 31, 19 and 19. A change of more than 15% counts as a rise or fall; each year needs at least 5 contracts.
- Has awarded contracts every year since 2021: At least one contract in every calendar year from 2021 to 2026, by award date (or publication date where the award date is later). Our records begin in 2021.
- Took on 14 new suppliers in the last 12 months: Suppliers named on a contract it awarded and published since 9 November 2025, and on none before. Counted by organisation, not by spelling.
- Most recent award: recorded 2 Oct 2026 (5 weeks ago).
- Values: value figures cover the 56 of 62 contracts where a value was published. Values are never added up: framework ceilings and values repeated across lots would make a total meaningless.
- Since 2021: totals count contracts by award date from January 2021, and suppliers by organisation rather than by spelling.
