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.
- Has published 1 planned procurement: Pipeline notices on Find a Tender whose expected tender date is still to come, or passed in the last 30 days.
- Most recent award: recorded 1 Sept 2026 (2 months ago).
- Values: value figures cover the 14 of 15 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.
