Grants vs. tenders
Grants fund your proposal; tenders buy a specified product or service.
Bars rank by total tracked value, which covers the 607 opportunities (38%) that publish an award amount or contract value; the count beside each bar covers everything in that group. Figures cover live (open) opportunities only, not historical spending — an awarded-contracts view (who actually won) is coming.
