Method

Figures are counted from notices in the Daily Tenders database with a publication date inside the window, across government, private sector, NGO and international sources. Counts reflect notices, not contract value, and a buyer that lots a single procurement into many notices will appear larger by volume than by spend — the school-transport and framework call-off patterns are the common examples. Nothing here is adjusted or estimated.
