PUBLIC-MONEY QUESTION

Which public buyers use the most suppliers?

Compare distinct published supplier names attached to each buyer's award notices.

THE SHORT ANSWER

Supplier breadth can reveal procurement reach, but variations in supplier names and identifier coverage affect the count. It is not a measure of competition by itself.

01

Read the measure

Notice counts, disclosed values and distinct names answer different questions. The linked report labels each one.

02

Open the slice

Move into a region, sector, buyer or supplier view without losing the filters that created it.

03

Check the record

Return to the award notice and official registers before treating a signal as a conclusion.
