Last 12 months
Since September 2025: 146 award(s) worth €44,122,431 combined.
Framework agreements can dominate a year's total: A large share of awarded value comes from framework agreements, whose published value is often the framework's ceiling — the maximum that can be drawn down over its full, often multi-year, lifetime — rather than money spent in the year it was awarded. Checked directly for Dublin City Council's largest year: framework agreements (62 of 90 awards) made up 97% of the total. A single large framework can make one year look far larger than its neighbours without that reflecting actual annual spend.
