Next to end

These figures come from Contracts Finder (since 2016) and Find a Tender (since 2021), as of 14 November 2026. They cover every award published there, so they can be larger than the totals at the top of the organisation's page, which count only the notices BidSonar has tracked itself. End dates are as stated on each notice, and extensions are not always published. 14 of these 188 end dates are estimated, worked out from how long each contract runs. 31 contracts it awarded state no end date, so they are not counted here.
