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 rose in the last year. Contracts by publication date in the 12 months to 8 Nov 2026 and the year before it, oldest first: 7 and 49. A change of more than 15% counts as a rise or fall; each year needs at least 5 contracts.
- Most of its current contracts end in the next 12 months: 33 of its 47 contracts with an end date still to come end by 8 November 2027. Shown when that is more than half, with at least 5.
- Took on 64 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 Nov 2026 (6 days ago).
- Values: value figures cover the 29 of 40 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.
