Castle Point — tender awards
Public-procurement contracts awarded by Castle Point in the last 12 months, in aggregate — by category, competition type and threshold level. Individual awards are on the filtered search and browse page.
Supplier identity is never aggregated on this page — a winning bidder's name is often a person's name, not a company's, so it follows the same registered-access rule as the browse page's supplier search.
Last 12 months
Since October 2025: 6 awards worth £8,729,686 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 against real data: a single council's own largest year can be dominated by framework agreements alone. A single large framework can make one year look far larger than its neighbours without that reflecting actual annual spend.
This total covers only awards recorded specifically against Castle Point — nationally, just 11% of award rows in the last 12 months carry a single council attribution at all (national frameworks and non-council awarding bodies account for the rest), so Castle Point's real procurement may be understated here.

A hollow bar marks a category built from 2 or fewer tenders — its total can be almost entirely one large framework agreement, not a genuine spending pattern across many contracts.
