Where their spending actually goes
Counted across everything they have published, not only what is open today. The figure in brackets is how much of it is open now.
Where they take bids
Reading a notice is free here; submitting one goes through the buyer’s own system. Register before a deadline rather than on the day. Some of these take a while to approve an account.
