The three most frequent suppliers are named on 10% of 41 awarded procedures (each procedure counted once, so a panel shared by several of them is not double-counted); 105 distinct suppliers hold at least one. Descriptive concentration of published awards — not a statement of preference.
Published award value (24m)£605mSum of published VAT-exclusive values on 36 of 63 single-supplier awards; the five largest make 89%; a further 7 published a VAT-inclusive amount only (£26m 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.
Typical single-supplier award (24m)£1.8m medianrobust · n=36Middle half £184k–£6.0m; 20 duplicate amounts excluded from both figures (heuristic for republished framework ceilings).

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 (£2.0bn, ceilings stripped) is a catalogue fact, not spend, and is not shown as a headline.
- Awards on procedures published in the last 24 months: 111 award records on 34 procedures (63 to a single canonical supplier, 38 multi-supplier, 10 with no supplier published). 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; 2 values come from the contract record when the award carried none; 7 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: 57 of 96 published contracts carry a period end; 10 end within 18 months, 0 within 6.
- Never shown: contact details, predicted winners, payment behaviour, or “who to invite”.
