GeBIZ tender awards

The Ledger

who the state pays

Every tender the government awards through GeBIZ is published: the agency, the supplier, the amount, the date. It is one of the plainest records the state keeps, and almost nobody draws it.

Awarded by year

How concentrated each buyer is

An agency's top-3 share is how much of its award value went to its three largest suppliers. A high share is not an accusation — a specialised buyer should have few suppliers, and one large contract can carry a year. It is simply a fact about the state that is not published anywhere, and it falls out of this file. Ordered by share; agencies with fewer than 25 awards are excluded, because three suppliers out of five is arithmetic, not concentration.

Every award

Everything above is the shape of the file: totals, and the top of each list. This is the file itself — all awards, filtered in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere; the whole ledger is one static download.
