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.

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

What it means and what it does not

This year-over-year shift does not support conclusions about the entity's management, but points to the need to inspect which contracts account for the difference. The comparison covers only a partial calendar cut through 16 October by publication date rather than full-year figures for 2026, meaning the ratio may change as further records are entered. Furthermore, the entity's drop is evaluated alongside the source's overall published total, which fell 81% across the same period.

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