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.

Tussell - 2021 Year in Review - 2024_07_16-01

This latest installment of our annual Year in Review reports analyses how public procurement faired during a year when COVID-19 was meant to be put behind us. We analyse:

  • 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.
