How we counted
- Find a Tender, Contracts Finder and Public Contracts Scotland award notices for the United Kingdom. One record is one contract award: a buyer, a supplier, a date and, where the source gives it, an amount.
- November 2024 to October 2026. This is the latest 24 months of our data for the United Kingdom, up to the last month with a normal number of awards.
- 5% of the award records for the United Kingdom in this window have a CPV code. A record without a code is in no sector. Transport & Logistics here means transport services (CPV 60) such as bus and school transport, transport support services and travel agencies (63, air tickets too), and vehicles, rolling stock, ships and aircraft (34). It leaves out vehicle repair, vehicle insurance, fuel (Energy & Power), road equipment (Roads & Bridges), and road and rail works. Each award counts in one sector only. We do not use our keyword sector labels here. A hand check found too many wrong labels for most sectors. How we counted in 39 countries.
- We count each award once: one notice, one amount, one date. We leave out awards with no supplier name, placeholder names such as "persona natural", names that are only a legal form, and names that appear on thousands of unrelated awards.
- We count suppliers by normalised name. A firm under two spellings counts as two suppliers, so the "won one award" share is an upper bound.
- Stated value is the amount in the award notice, in GBP. It is often the ceiling of a framework agreement, and the money paid can be lower. When several winners share one notice and one amount, we split the amount. We cap each award at the 99.9th percentile of the awards in the United Kingdom. 84% of the awards state an amount, GBP 1.38 billion in total.
- These numbers show how the awards spread across suppliers. They do not show why.
