How the figures are made

Values are the buyer's estimate in the notice. Many do not state a value, and for framework agreements the value is a ceiling.
“One tender” counts only contracts where the number of tenders is stated. A stated 0 is treated as not stated.
The cancelled share is cancellations divided by awards and cancellations in the same period.
Only notices in Doffin are included. Call-offs on framework agreements and purchases below the publication threshold are missing.
Suppliers that may be private persons are never shown by name and cannot be searched for.
