How this page is built

Every award here is a row of the National Procurement and Tender Administration’s Tenders Awarded listing, counted the way each tender’s page lists its awards. The names are as the NPTA prints them. We match them to one supplier by rule — the same name, or a spelling at least 90% alike — and have not checked any register for who the supplier is. A value the NPTA does not publish is never shown or added up, and amounts in Guyana and US dollars are totalled apart.

The bids are the rows of the NPTA’s minutes of tender openings whose bidder name matches one of the names above, each with its minutes PDF. A bid on several lots of one opening counts once. An opening is decided when we hold its award: the awards page names the same file number, or names the advert the opening was matched to. Every award row printed under that file number counts, since the awards page can file one contract’s lots under several records. The win record counts decided openings only, never an opening still waiting for its award, and is given from 5 decided openings. An opening whose award names this supplier while no row of its minutes is linked to it is listed under Won and left out of the record: a bid printed under a name we do not match, or in a row we could not read, is found only when it wins, so counting them would count wins and not losses.

An award that is not this supplier’s can be reported from its tender’s page. What each label means is on the methodology page.
