How we counted
- TED award notices for Germany. One record is one contract award: a buyer, a supplier, a date and, where the source gives it, an amount.
- October 2024 to September 2026. This is the latest 24 months of our data for Germany, up to the last month with a normal number of awards.
- Each award has the CPV code of its notice. Defense & Security here means security, police and defense equipment (CPV 35): weapons, ammunition, military vehicles, ships and aircraft, and personal equipment, plus guard and security services, defense services, public order services, defense research, video surveillance and radar. It leaves out fire-fighting, rescue and safety equipment, and defense training (Education). Each award counts in one sector only. We do not use our keyword sector labels here. A hand check found too many wrong labels for most sectors. How we counted in 39 countries.
- 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.
- 26% of these awards state an amount. Our floor is 40%, so this block shows counts only.
- TED lists contracts above the EU thresholds. Smaller contracts are not in these numbers.
- These numbers show how the awards spread across suppliers. They do not show why.
