About this data. Built from 988 recorded procurements on Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales, entity-resolved by BidSkim. Framework and DPS establishment notices are excluded from open-opportunity counts, and value totals exclude framework ceilings and implausible outliers. Unpublished call-offs are invisible to notice data, so every figure is a floor. Last updated 26 Aug 2026. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
