Award Notice

Data Sources & Methodology

GETS Contracts: Sourced from MBIE's Government Electronic Tenders Service open data. Includes all published contract awards with supplier details. Some contract values are undisclosed.

Council Contracts: Auckland Council awarded contracts and supplier spend data (contracts ≥$50K). Sourced from council transparency reports.

Counting: Each contract is counted once. A supplier is its Companies Office record where one is linked, otherwise its name ignoring case and legal form, so spelling variants of one company are one supplier. An award of $0 or blank is treated as undisclosed, not as zero.

Cross-Linking: Suppliers are linked to NZX-listed companies by a stored issuer link, and every contract filed under the same Companies Office record counts for that company. Names alone are never used to attach a listed company, so subsidiaries trading under other names may not be captured. Charities are linked by charity record.

Limitations: GETS data quality varies; not all agencies consistently publish award amounts. Council data currently covers Auckland Council only.
