Buyers with similar baskets

Nearest procurement mixes by revealed specialisation (cosine similarity), regardless of sphere or size. Descriptive, not a comparison of performance.

A gap can be a choice as easily as an omission.

Capital spend context

Audited capital expenditure for Overstrand (WC032) from National Treasury's Municipal Money, for scale against the 189 awards published here. Large capex with few published awards usually means procurement happens outside the eTenders portal, not that it is not happening.
