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 have fallen in each of the last two years. Contracts by publication date in the 12 months to 8 Nov 2026 and the two years before it, oldest first: 522, 155 and 108. A change of more than 15% counts as a rise or fall; each year needs at least 5 contracts.
12 contracts end in the next 6 months: Published end dates between 8 November 2026 and 8 May 2027, each contract counted once.
Took on 50 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 15 Dec 2025 (11 months ago).
Values: value figures cover the 1,835 of 1,848 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.
