- Awards on procedures published in the last 24 months: 66 award records on 63 procedures (64 to a single canonical supplier, 0 multi-supplier, 2 with no supplier published). 51 values come from the contract record when the award carried none.
- Bid counts, deadline-to-award, amendments and award-vs-estimate come from the nightly buyer analytics row; each figure’s own method and sample is behind its , the long form on Methodology.
- Contract end dates: 38 of 60 published contracts carry a period end; 9 end within 18 months, 4 within 6.
