- 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.
- 1 contract ends in the next 6 months: Published end dates between 7 November 2026 and 7 May 2027, each contract counted once.
- Won work from 2 new buyers in the last 12 months: Buyers with a contract awarded to it and published since 8 November 2025, and none before. Counted by organisation, not by spelling.
- Since 2021: these figures count published award notices from January 2021 onward, the point at which this database begins, and are comprehensive only from 2023. Contracts awarded before then, and any work not published as a public award notice, do not appear. This is a record of published contracts, not of turnover.
- Most recent award: recorded 29 Dec 2025 (10 months ago).
