Method and coverage
How the figures are built, and their limits.
- Source: official tender, award and contract notices on Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales, collected daily by TenderStandard UK.
- A notice counts as FM when its CPV classification or title places it in one of 14 FM, M&E and building services categories. Supply-only goods notices are excluded.
- Each tender notice is counted once, in the month it was first published. The same opportunity cross-posted to two portals is counted once.
- Values are as stated by buyers, usually excluding VAT. Framework values are ceilings shared across suppliers, so totals overstate likely spend. The median is the better guide to a typical contract.
- Awards are counted in the month of award or contract signature. The supplier is the first named supplier on the notice.
- Figures for recent months can rise slightly as late notices are collected. Find a Tender coverage is complete from September 2026.
