A candidate utility screen. It is left out of “top supplier” lists and the commercial concentration measure.

Why it’s notable
A large disclosed recipient is a candidate public body / remitter / utility, so a naive 'top supplier' ranking is misleading.
How to check it
Open each schedule at the cited page and find the row. Amounts are stored as exact cents from the printed page.
CRD SOFI 2023, page 65, row 43What it may mean
Is this large recipient a public body / remitter / utility / P3 entity / intergovernmental flow rather than a commercial supplier?
What it doesn’t prove
A public-body / remitter / utility classification is a candidate screen, not a legal finding about a supplier or a competition outcome. It does not mean the flow was non-commercial or exempt from procurement rules.
