What this table establishes

The records establish the award values published under each buyer name.

They do not establish what was paid or that any award was improper.

How it is made

Each row is the figure the publisher printed, in in published award notices. Rows are ordered highest first; nothing is estimated, weighted or adjusted by Civometry.

A buyer is one name string; a department that publishes under several names appears several times. Framework awards record ceilings, not spend.

Source: Find a Tender and Contracts Finder, Contract award notices · Open Government Licence v3.0. Period: award notices the site has loaded from both registers. The rank is Civometry’s ordering of published figures, not a judgement on anyone in the table.

Ministry of Defence: £2,467,443,670 in published award notices, the highest of 200.
