the biggest awarded contracts in post and telecoms
Contracts that name a winning supplier, ranked by the value the buyer published, excluding those flagged as a maximum rather than a price. Figures are as published; gvtcx does not adjust them. A large contract is often a multi-year framework, so the value is what may be spent over its whole life — and where several suppliers share one framework, each is shown against the framework's full value rather than its own share.
who wins this work
Suppliers with the most recorded awards in this category. Median rather than total, because framework ceilings are published in the same field as real contract values.
