02/ Spending over time

How much they put out to tender.

Notices Sheffield City Council published each year, and the published value of those notices. Hover or tap a year to read it.

Read the shape, not the growth: our coverage of the registers differs by year, so a rise between two years is not by itself a rise in spending.

03/ Re-tender cycles

Every category on a cycle.

Each track is one full cycle for that category; the fill is how far through it today is. A lapsed cycle means the last round has run out and a new notice could appear at any time.

04/ Who wins here

The suppliers Sheffield City Council already uses.

Suppliers with the most published contract awards from Sheffield City Council. Each name opens that supplier’s own dossier.

06/ Method

How this page is made

Live figures

Every figure on this page is read from the RFP Quest corpus of UK public notices — Find a Tender and Contracts Finder, published under the Open Government Licence v3.0 — when the page is built, and the page is rebuilt at most hourly.

Published value sums the value each notice states, with any single notice capped at £100m so that one framework ceiling cannot pass for spending. A framework ceiling is the most a buyer could spend through an agreement, not what it will spend.

A re-tender cycle is the median gap between this buyer's notices in one category. It is shown only where the history supports it, and a cycle that has run out is shown as overdue, never as a forecast date.

Retention across the category is shown as two measures or not at all — how often a repeat contract goes to a supplier the buyer has not used, and how often the previous winner returns — and only above 60 repeat events.
