- Awards on procedures published in the last 24 months: 35 award records on 22 procedures (35 to a single canonical supplier, 0 multi-supplier). 3 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: 3 of 18 published contracts carry a period end; 1 end within 18 months, 1 within 6.
