The three most frequent suppliers are named on 25% of 16 awarded procedures (each procedure counted once, so a panel shared by several of them is not double-counted); 18 distinct suppliers hold at least one. Descriptive concentration of published awards — not a statement of preference.
Published award value (24m)£3.6mSum of published VAT-exclusive values on 12 of 21 single-supplier awards; the five largest make 72%; a further 9 published a VAT-inclusive amount only (£2.1m inc. VAT, kept apart). Not spend and not a budget: notices sometimes republish a framework total or a mis-scaled figure — the largest rows are listed below so you can check.

Data coverage & method
- Source: Find a Tender OCDS releases; mixed PCR 2015 / Procurement Act 2023 history — no legal-regime label is applied.
- Counts are procedures (one notice family), not lots. Authority cluster = canonical buyer plus beneficiary and procuring-entity roles.
- Published procedure values exist on a minority of notices; their lifetime sum (£7.3m, ceilings stripped) is a catalogue fact, not spend, and is not shown as a headline.
- Awards on procedures published in the last 24 months: 21 award records on 15 procedures (21 to a single canonical supplier, 0 multi-supplier). Typical award uses single-supplier VAT-exclusive GBP values below £5bn, excludes framework/DPS ceilings and — as a heuristic for republished framework totals — any amount repeated three or more times inside this authority’s 24-month awards; 7 values come from the contract record when the award carried none; 9 awards published only a VAT-inclusive amount and are counted but not valued.
- Bid counts (per lot, contested notices only, PA 2023 final-stage tenders where published), deadline-to-award and amendments come from the nightly buyer analytics row (v8, award-identity grain). Evidence tiers: robust ≥5, moderate 3–4, indicative 1–2.
- Contract end dates: 13 of 21 published contracts carry a period end; 2 end within 18 months, 0 within 6.
- Never shown: contact details, predicted winners, payment behaviour, or “who to invite”.
