CARLETON UNIVERSITY

Why it is here

Indicator “Contract splitting under the threshold”: 6 contracts without competition in 85–100 % threshold for 2025-2026.

Several contracts to the same supplier, each just under the threshold that requires an open procedure. Indicators computed from public data sets: contracts, payments, registers, trade and sanctions lists. An indicator is a reason to check, not a decision of a public authority.
