By year — where the medians come from — where the number comes from

What goes in

Each median covers the declared amounts of the year's awards; awards without a declared amount count in the “Awards” column and stay out of the median.

The five most frequent suppliers — where the number comes from

The calculation

52 awards to the five most frequent suppliers ÷ 182 awards = 28.6%

What goes in

182 winning awards on this contracting authority's notices, excluding cancelled or unsuccessful awards, shared among 69 distinct suppliers. An award shared by several suppliers counts once for each. Awards are counted, not amounts, and no supplier is named. Awards with no linked supplier, or whose supplier is hidden, stay out.

Time to decision — where the number comes from

The calculation

For each notice: the calendar days between its closing date and its first award date. The number shown is the median of these delays, rounded to the day: 11 days.

What goes in

51 notices go in: those with a closing date whose earliest dated winning award, neither cancelled nor unsuccessful, falls on or after the closing day. This contracting authority's other notices stay out. This count comes from the delay computation, made at another time than the count of published notices: the two do not subtract.

How to read it

Between the closing date of a public tender and its award, this contracting authority takes 11 days on median — half of its notices are awarded between 6 and 18 days (over 51 notices). Across all contracting authorities the median is 26 days (over 119,539 notices): 0.4 times. A longer wait describes a purchasing practice, not an irregularity. It is computed only on notices carrying both a closing date and an award date.
