How we calculated it

We filter the normalized source with passing DQ to the stated buyer and currency; take the latest available publication date in 2026 as the cut and sum 2026 value through that day and 2025 value through the same month and day. We reproduce both sums, their ratio, the source’s per-currency totals at the same cut and the row counts against the live source before publishing; we require the entity to have been at least 1% of the previous year’s total and its move to be distinct from the source’s and inspect 20 records split across the two years. Evidence is frozen with both queries, rows, normalization date and fingerprint.

42 rows match the query; 1 result remains in the summary.

What it means and what it does not

The shift in published value prompts an examination of the procurement processes behind it, rather than a conclusion about administrative management. Figures reflect a partial cutoff at Oct 16, 2026 compared exclusively with the same period in 2025 by publication date, meaning proportions may shift as more records are added. The entity's contraction is evaluated against an 81% drop across the entire source to differentiate it from general publication lags.

Supplier identity is not published in the contracts archive; use adjudicaciones for supplier-level analysis.
