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.

This page is real. Nothing here is part of the Build UK story. It is the government's own published data about the government we actually have — the same treatment the MP pages give to voting records, applied to money.

Covering notices published between 4 Jul 2024 and 5 Jun 2025. The contract backfill is still running — it has reached 5 Jun 2025 and works forward every few minutes, so these totals will keep rising until it catches up with today. Last checked: 4 Aug 2026, 09:41 UTC.

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 →
