Business tenders awarded between 2022 to 2024

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I would like to request the following information for the financial years 2022/2023 and 2023/2024:


1) The number of business tenders awarded by your authority.


2) The total value (£) of those tenders awarded.


Please break both figures down by

a) industry or sector (e.g. construction, IT services, professional services, etc.).

b) If this breakdown isn't available, the overall totals would still be greatly appreciated.

c) If available, I'd also be grateful if you could indicate how many of these tenders were awarded to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), defined as businesses with fewer than 250 employees, and either an annual turnover not exceeding £36 million or a balance sheet total not exceeding £18 million, in line with the UK Government's definition.

d) If your records use SIC codes to classify tenders, please include the codes or descriptions.
