Daily Tender Volume and Value Overview
February 6, 2026, presented a dynamic landscape in global public procurement, marked by substantial new tender issuance alongside moderate closure and award activity. The day saw 457 new tenders published, representing fresh opportunities for suppliers across multiple markets. These new tenders carried a significant combined value of $2,322,215,855.55 USD, indicating the scale of procurement projects entering the bidding phase.
In contrast, the number of tenders moving to the award stage was considerably lower, with only 7 tenders formally awarded. The total awarded value for these contracts was $23,738,331.00 USD. This disparity between new tender issuance (457) and awards (7) suggests that many procurement processes remain in earlier stages of evaluation or that award announcements may be concentrated on different reporting cycles. Additionally, 114 tenders were closed on this date, marking the conclusion of their bidding windows without necessarily proceeding to immediate award announcements.
The average bid window—the time suppliers have to prepare and submit proposals—stood at approximately 44.3 days. This provides a reasonable timeframe for bid preparation, though it varies significantly by project complexity and sector requirements. The substantial new tender value highlights continued investment and procurement activity across public and large private sector organizations.

Tender activity on February 6, 2026, was heavily concentrated in a few key countries, with the United States and United Kingdom dominating the landscape. The United States led with 173 new tenders, followed closely by the United Kingdom with 164.

Only 7 tenders were awarded, with a total value of $23,738,331.00 USD.
