Culture's public contracts — who buys, from whom, with what competition

Culture buys through many small, independent institutions — theatres, operas, museums, libraries and the national art schools, each with its own budget. This page gathers them: what they spend, which companies win, and how many contracts drew a single bidder.

What you'll find

  • The sector's contractors — ranked by value. The national leaderboard cannot be filtered by sector: it counts contractors, and the sector is a property of the buyer.
  • Competition — the single-bidder share, always beside the national baseline. On its own that figure means nothing.
  • Who buys — the split by institution, each with its own single-bidder share.
