Same type of body. National bodies are not grouped by region: a department's notice address is where its commercial team sits, not where it works. Most published awards first.
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.
- Year on year: Its published contract awards were falling but rose in the last year. Contracts by publication date in the 12 months to 7 Nov 2026 and the two years before it, oldest first: 11, 5 and 6. A change of more than 15% counts as a rise or fall; each year needs at least 5 contracts.
- 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 5 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 17 Jul 2026 (4 months ago).
- Since 2021: totals count contracts by award date from January 2021, and suppliers by organisation rather than by spelling.
