Coverage: 105 active published awards; 3 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. Published-to-award variance compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

What is being bought
BigSpark will provide the FCA with a synthetic cross-sectoral dataset for the digital sandbox environment. This will enable the FCA to support firms innovating in the open finance and smart data area, and generate invaluable input into policy making. This is instrumental to successfully draft a regulatory framework for open finance, as stated in the FCA Strategy. The previous contract with the provider was centred on a much smaller dataset.
