Year in Review
2021 Edition
We reflect on the state of public procurement, to see what has - and hasn't - changed since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

- How did procurement in 2021 compare to 2020?
- Which public bodies saw the largest jumps in spend?
- Who are the top public suppliers by sector?
- Where do upcoming opportunities lie in 2022?
- How has the use of frameworks changed?
- ... and much more.
