How we count
From notices on Find a Tender, Contracts Finder and Public Contracts Scotland. Research and consulting are picked by the notices’ CPV codes; a tender counts once, where the work is delivered (else where the buyer is). Buyers are listed by the address on their notices. Sizes are the values notices state; small firms are as Find a Tender’s award notices record them. Not included: Welsh tenders under £30,000, published only on Sell2Wales, and Northern Ireland’s below-threshold tenders, published only on eTendersNI.
