How this is worked out: awarded values from the Office of Government Procurement contract notices on data.gov.ie (licence CC-BY-4.0), awards dated 16 Oct 2023 to 16 Oct 2026. Each contract counts once, under its first CPV code. Excluded: values of €1,000 or less, awards with no named winner or several winners, and framework agreements and lot awards, because their published value is a ceiling shared across suppliers, not a price paid. Bid counts of zero or missing are left out of the bids median. Some buyers copy their estimate into the awarded value field. Across all divisions, 1,935 of the 6,343 contracts that carry both figures show the two as identical; in this division it is 32 of 216. Read the awarded value as the price the buyer reported, not an audited payment.
