What counts as Defra tenders here?
Notices from the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs. Its arm's-length bodies, such as the Environment Agency, mostly buy under their own names.

Matched by text
The buyer's name contains one of: department for environment, food, department for environment food, defra. A word match is not a judgment of what is bought, so these are labelled as matches.
