Award values as posted on GETS (total awarded per contract, often over several years; GST treatment not stated), not invoices. Found by words in the notice title, so notices titled in other words are missed. Newest award in the file: 2026-10-06; the file is updated quarterly. Fewer than 5 awards for management consultancy in this period, so no figure is published.",
