Public funding statistics & analytics
We track 2,216 currently open grants and tenders from official open-data sources, normalised to USD — $6.1B in open grant funding and $13.1B in tender contract ceilings (kept apart because they are not the same unit). Below: how much is open, where the money concentrates, what sizes, when it closes, and who has been winning — all computed live (as of 2026-09-02).

How much is open
Value figures cover the 908 opportunities (41%) that publish an award amount or contract value; counts cover everything. Grant figures are award ceilings. Tender figures are contract ceilings — the maximum a buyer may spend through that notice over its whole life, which for framework agreements and Dynamic Purchasing Systems is spread across several years and many suppliers. We report the two separately rather than summing them, because only the grant line reflects money a single applicant can win. All amounts normalised to USD.
Where it concentrates
The same inventory tells two stories: which slices have the most opportunities (count) and which carry the most tracked value (value). Each panel says which lens it uses.
One caveat on every value figure below: unlike the headline numbers above, these grouped totals combine grant award ceilings with tender contract ceilings. Read them as the scale of tracked inventory in a slice — not as money a single applicant could win. For that, use the grant figure at the top of this page.
By sectorby value
Which fields carry the most tracked value (grants and tender ceilings combined).
By country & regionby value
Where the tracked value sits. A few very large frameworks dominate the top.
Not a contradiction — two lenses: United States lists the most open opportunities (782), while United Kingdom carries the most tracked value ($10.4B), driven by a few very large frameworks.

By award sizeby count
Distribution across value bands — small awards are a meaningful share of the priced inventory.
| Open | Total value | Median | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Over $500K | 568 | $19.1B | $4.6M |
| $50K–$500K | 268 | $72.8M | $261K |

Bands exist only on opportunities that publish a value.

Deadline pipeline
Tracked value closing each month by value — public funding turns over fast, which is why deadlines get missed.
275 opportunities were added in the last 7 days and 1,384 close within the next 30 days. Free email alerts exist for exactly that.
Who won
Beyond what's open, we track who actually won — from official award notices (EU TED, UK Contracts Finder, AusTender).
