- 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: 83 of 145 published contracts carry a period end; 22 end within 18 months, 14 within 6.
