- Published procedure values exist on a minority of notices; their lifetime sum (£2.6m, ceilings stripped) is a catalogue fact, not spend, and is not shown as a headline.
- Awards on procedures published in the last 24 months: 17 award records on 17 procedures (16 to a single canonical supplier, 1 multi-supplier). 15 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: 0 of 32 published contracts carry a period end; 0 end within 18 months, 0 within 6.
