What counts as council transport tenders here?
Transport tenders published by council buyers: the same title rule as the UK-wide transport hub, kept to notices whose buyer the council tenders hub recognises by name. Notices from other buyers with the same subject are on the transport hub; the council hub lists every subject.
Classified
This hub is chosen by buyer or place, which the catalogue does not describe, so it uses no classification.
Matched by text
The buyer's name contains one of: transport, bus service, taxi, home to school, passenger, haulage, courier, logistics, patient transport, council, combined authority, borough of, city of [a-z]+ council. A word match is not a judgment of what is bought, so these are labelled as matches.
