Historical Context and Weekly Pattern Analysis
Placing December 9 within the broader trend from November 1 to December 23 reveals clear patterns. The 665 new tenders align with typical weekday volumes observed in this period, which regularly exceed 700 on peak days (e.g., Dec 16: 876). The 247 awards are consistent with the elevated award activity seen throughout early December, a significant increase from the lower award volumes typical in early November.
A pronounced weekly cycle is evident. Weekdays, especially Tuesday through Thursday, consistently show high volumes for both new and awarded tenders. In contrast, weekends and holidays (like November 11) see a dramatic drop, often to fewer than 100 new tenders and minimal awards. December 9, a Tuesday, fits perfectly into this pattern of high mid-week activity. The data also shows a significant spike in awarded tenders starting in late November, which has sustained into December, indicating a period of intense contract finalization as the year progresses.
