How this database is built
Every fact on a project page comes from a named public source: a funder’s appraisal, a tender notice, an agency’s report or a news report, with its date. Each source’s limitations are stated beside it, in our words. A value, a date or a company appears only when a source states it; anything unstated is shown as not published.
A record marked sourced says what its source says and has not yet been checked by the desk; a record marked verified has been. Where two sources disagree, both are shown until the desk decides. Corrections go to the editorial desk.
Contract awards and open tenders are on the tenders and jobs board; tools and data are on the Data Hub.
