Every figure on this page is calculated by our own code from the official notices.

• Source: notices published on Find a Tender, the UK government's procurement notice service, read from its open contracting data feed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
• Listed: contracts that have been signed. Under the Procurement Act 2023 that is a contract details notice; under the earlier regulations it is a contract award notice. Notices of an intention to award are not listed, so a contract does not appear twice.
• Values are as stated in each notice: excluding VAT where the notice gives that figure, otherwise including VAT. They are not adjusted.
• Framework agreements, dynamic purchasing systems and awards naming four or more suppliers are shown separately and left out of the total, because their values are ceilings rather than contracts for work. A single contract with a stated value of £1 billion or more is also left out of the total.
• Where one notice repeats the same value against several lots it is counted once. An award published twice is counted once.
• Organisation names are as published, with names typed in capitals put into ordinary capitalisation. A name is matched to this page only on its registered number or an exact match of the name.
• The record covers only contracts that public bodies have published on Find a Tender, in construction works and architectural and engineering services categories, since our collection began. Private-sector contracts, and public contracts not published there, are not included.
