Source: AusTender contract notices, Department of Finance (tenders.gov.au), Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Australia; “limited tender” is counted as an award without a competition, AusTender does not publish the number of bids. Awards are matched to their buyer and supplier as published. Values in these notices often state a framework ceiling rather than a contract amount, so awards are counted, not summed.
