What goes in
A notice goes in if it carries at least one classification code tied to this sector; it counts once here, even with several of the sector's codes. A notice can belong to several sectors at once: sector totals do not add up.

how it's counted — How it is bought

How it is bought — where the number comes from

The calculation
Each Quebec notice classified in this sector is counted once, under the method the source gives it: 61,881 notices in all.
What goes in

The five methods, the unclassified method included, add up to the sector's notices; each share is read on that total.

Of 61,881 notices classified in this sector, 27,467 (44.4%) carry a method Lauréo does not classify: they stay counted, never spread over the others. These figures describe buying practice, not irregularities.

How many suppliers share this market

9,418 distinct suppliers won at least one contract. The five most frequent account for 10.4%.

Counted by number of contracts, never by amount — and naming no one: the source publishes acts, not a league table.

how it's calculated — The five most frequent suppliers

The five most frequent suppliers — where the number comes from

The calculation
5,842 awards to the five most frequent suppliers ÷ 55,957 awards = 10.4%
What goes in
55,957 winning awards on Quebec notices classified in this sector, excluding cancelled or unsuccessful awards, shared among 9,418 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.
