Methodology

This report analyses two datasets – spend data and contract award data – covering the financial year from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025.

Spend data is derived from invoices published by over 1,000 public sector bodies for transparency purposes. These invoices capture only direct procurement by public sector organisations, and do not reflect indirect procurement through the supply chain. Contract award data is drawn primarily from Contracts Finder and the Find a Tender Service, supplemented bya number of local, regional and sector-specific procurement portals.

The datasets are accurate as of the date of download: 11 August 2025 for spend data, and 28 August 2025 for contract award data. When calculating average and median figures, contracts with null or zero values have been excluded. On the spend tabs, an asterisk next to the buyer name indicates those with incomplete invoice records for the period analysed.

Identifying VCSEs: The primary method of identifying VCSEs is through our ‘Supplier Type’ field, drawn from Moody’s data on suppliers (originally sourced from the ‘Company Type’ field on Companies House), matched to our database of invoices. Organisations with the type ‘Charitable Organisation’ and ‘Non Profit Organisation’ are marked as VCSEs. Additionally, Community Interest Companies are identified using a search for suppliers with ‘Community Interest Company’ or ‘CIC’ in their registered name. Academic Institutions that are registered as Charitable or Non Profit Organisations are excluded from this analysis, as were Academic Institutions provided by SEUK. To exclude Academic Institutions, a combination of key word searching, SIC (Sector Industrial Classification) codes, and manual verification were used.

Identifying SMEs: SMEs are first identified using data from Bureau van Dijk, a company information database owned by Moody’s. A level of manual verification occurs, with suppliers classified as an ‘SME’ based on this EU definition.

Identifying Local suppliers: For the purposes of this analysis, revenue is considered local when the supplier’s headquarter region matches that of the buyer.
