CPV sector: the sector of the award's CPV code, the EU classification of what a contract buys. Our keyword sector labels elsewhere on the site can give other counts.
How we counted
- TED award notices for Hungary. One record is one contract award: a buyer, a supplier, a date and, where the source gives it, an amount.
- September 2024 to August 2026. This is the latest 24 months of our data for Hungary, up to the last month with a normal number of awards.
- Each award has the CPV code of its notice. Each award counts in one sector only, by the strict CPV rules of the ART-1 audit. We do not use our keyword sector labels: a hand check found too many wrong labels for most sectors.
- We count each award once: one notice, one amount, one date. We leave out awards with no supplier name, placeholder names such as "persona natural", names that are only a legal form, and names that appear on thousands of unrelated awards.
- We count suppliers by normalised name. A firm under two spellings counts as two suppliers, so the "won one award" share is an upper bound.
- 23% of these awards state an amount. Our floor is 40%, so this story shows counts only.
- The awards for Hungary come from TED, which publishes contracts above the EU thresholds. This story describes the larger contracts.
- These numbers show how the awards spread across suppliers. They do not show why.
The method is the method of our study of 39 countries: who wins government contracts. Other countries: who wins, country by country. The sector pages show the same numbers for each country and sector with enough data.
