What are gross new contracts?

Gross new contracts refer to all contracts awarded within a specific timeframe, typically measured over a year, that encompass various services. When considering gross new contracts, it's essential to include every contract awarded, regardless of the type of service or sector they relate to, thus making the timeframe an important context. This is because gross new contracts provide a comprehensive view of contract activity, which can indicate trends, growth, or changes in service demands over the specified year.

By defining gross new contracts in this manner, it reflects the total scale of new agreements rather than focusing on particular characteristics or limitations such as time, comparison to previous years, or contract status. This broader definition helps stakeholders in assessing overall business performance and market engagement effectively.
