How these figures are calculated
Totals are the value of contracts awarded in the window, not what was spent in a year. Framework ceilings and cross-portal duplicates are excluded so the same money isn't counted twice, and every award of £1bn or more is queued for review against the buyer's own notice — those still waiting to be read are counted as published. Counts are never filtered.
