Context and Short-Term Trends
Placing December 22's activity within a broader context is essential for accurate analysis. The 508 new tenders published represent a strong weekday volume, significantly higher than the typical weekend lows seen in the data (e.g., 57 on Dec 20, 249 on Dec 21). However, it is below the peak volumes observed on other weekdays in recent weeks, such as December 16 (876) or December 17 (869).
The trend data from November and December 2025 shows a consistent weekly pattern: high activity on weekdays, often exceeding 700 new tenders, followed by sharp declines on weekends. The award count of 16 on December 22 is relatively low compared to many preceding weekdays in December, where awards frequently numbered in the hundreds. This could indicate a pacing difference between the publication and award cycles, or a focus on publishing new opportunities as the year progresses.
Looking ahead, the data for December 23 (the next day in the trend) shows 460 new tenders published, 12 awarded, and a notable 9,575 tenders closed. This massive closure figure for December 23 likely represents a systemic data update or year-end administrative clearing of old tenders, making December 22's zero closures part of a normal pre-clearing state.
