About This Data
These statistics are generated daily from TenderTracker's database of UK public sector contract notices, aggregated from the Find a Tender Service (above-threshold procurements under the Procurement Act 2023) and Contracts Finder (sub-threshold opportunities). Published values reflect award amounts where available, otherwise estimated notice values; notices without a stated value are excluded from value totals, as are notices whose stated value exceeds £1 billion, since these are almost always multi-year framework agreement ceilings or market-engagement placeholders rather than individual contract values. Figures were last updated on 13 October 2026. Cite this page as "TenderTracker UK Public Procurement Statistics".
