- Awards on procedures published in the last 24 months: 218 award records on 75 procedures (158 to a single canonical supplier, 59 multi-supplier, 1 with no supplier published). 77 values come from the contract record when the award carried none; 1 awards published only a VAT-inclusive amount and are counted but not valued.
- 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: 95 of 359 published contracts carry a period end; 15 end within 18 months, 4 within 6.
