- Awards on procedures published in the last 24 months: 27 award records on 6 procedures (27 to a single canonical supplier, 0 multi-supplier). 2 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: 4 of 77 published contracts carry a period end; 3 end within 18 months, 3 within 6.
