Department for Business and Trade: spending & suppliers
Department for Business and Trade has £2,651,574,006 of tracked procurement spend across 3,901 published payments to 413 suppliers, from Mar 2025 to May 2026.
Excludes £27,867,000 paid to other public bodies as funding rather than for goods or services — grant-in-aid and similar. Those payments are held in full and shown in the underlying data, but counting them as procurement would overstate what Department for Business and Trade actually buys.
Amounts follow each publisher’s own basis — some publish figures including VAT, others excluding it — so totals are not directly comparable between buyers.
