- Awards on procedures published in the last 24 months: 8 award records on 8 procedures (8 to a single canonical supplier, 0 multi-supplier). 6 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: 7 of 7 published contracts carry a period end; 1 end within 18 months, 0 within 6.
- Never shown: contact details, predicted winners, payment behaviour, or “who to invite”.
