About this data. Covering 600+ buyer sites · 5 years of records. We group records by CPV code and remove duplicates we have resolved. We list framework and DPS applications separately and leave their ceilings out of contract-value totals. We also exclude implausible values and future-dated awards. The counts describe the data on the update date. We hide examples when their recorded deadline arrives, but buyers can amend or cancel notices sooner. AI summaries describe the contract; your business needs a separate match assessment. Check the official documents before bidding. Updated 22 Sept 2026.
