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 (£410k, ceilings stripped) is a catalogue fact, not spend, and is not shown as a headline.
- Awards on procedures published in the last 24 months: 5 award records on 5 procedures (5 to a single canonical supplier, 0 multi-supplier). 5 values come from the contract record when the award carried none.
- Contract end dates: 4 of 5 published contracts carry a period end; 3 end within 18 months, 2 within 6.
- Never shown: contact details, predicted winners, payment behaviour, or “who to invite”.
