which public bodies buy the most

18,385 UK public sector organisations have published procurement notices — councils, NHS trusts, departments, universities, police forces. These are the busiest.

Ranked by number of notices published, not by spend. Medians exclude framework ceilings, which are advertised maximums rather than money committed.
