Coverage: 76 active published awards; 4 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments.

Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

Procedure rationaleThere are no alternative suppliers able to offer access to Financial Times content as they own the intellectual property rights to their content. This means we have to contract directly with them.
