ProofPrice

What did public buyers in England and Wales pay for laptops around London?

Government contract prices in England and Wales, from Crown Commercial Service and Cabinet Office. This source is answered live, so the page shows how to ask, not a number.

Contract prices, as published by the official source.

ProofPrice reads Crown Commercial Service and Cabinet Office when you ask, so the answer is always the latest published. It comes with its period, its source and its licence; a range built from records is given only when at least 5 records sit behind it.

Where this comes from

Source
Contracts Finder: awarded contract notices, published by Crown Commercial Service and Cabinet Office (Contracts Finder, GOV.UK)
Licence
Open Government Licence v3.0. Contracts Finder states: 'All content is available under the Open Government Licence v3.0 except where otherwise stated.' Its OCDS data packages carry the licence URL http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/.
Attribution
Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Source: Contracts Finder (Crown Commercial Service / Cabinet Office). Figures are ProofPrice aggregates of the published award notices.
How fresh the source is
Continuous: buyers publish award notices after a contract is awarded
Limits
Contracts Finder awards only (central government above £12,000, wider public sector above £30,000, plus voluntary notices); some above-threshold awards appear only on Find a Tender and are not included. The awarded value is the contract's total value as the buyer stated it, often over several years and sometimes a framework ceiling, not a unit price. Search is by keyword over the notice text, so some matches are loosely related; up to 1,000 notices are read per period slice. A region filter also keeps nationwide contracts that list the region among several. Aggregates only; suppliers are never named.
Rule
A figure built from records is shown only when at least 5 records sit behind it; official statistics are shown as such, with their reference period. See how we earn trust and the method.
