Where the money goes
Two public registers, side by side: every contract award a UK public body has published, and every donation declared to a political party or an individual MP. Both are official, both are open data, and neither is easy to read where it is published.
Covering notices published between 4 Jul 2024 and 2 Oct 2026. Last checked: 2 Oct 2026, 06:29 UTC.

Contracts Finder records where work is delivered by region, not by constituency. Enter a postcode and this shows the contracts delivered in that region — and who your MP is, if you want their record next to it.
The biggest contracts
The largest entries are usually framework agreements: a ceiling that many public bodies may spend against over several years, sometimes shared between hundreds of suppliers, not a cheque written to one company. The value published on the notice is what is shown here. Open the notice before quoting the number.

What this does not show
Contract awards are not the same as total public spending — day-to-day departmental spend, benefits, pay and debt interest never appear as a contract award, and Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland publish most of their procurement on their own portals. Donations are only those the law requires to be declared. Every source, threshold and gap is listed here →
