- Published value attributable to this supplier alone: £30m across single-supplier awards, framework / DPS ceilings excluded. Coverage is partial and the figure is not turnover, so it is not shown as a headline.
- Contract end dates: published on 13 of 82 awards; 3 end within 18 months.
- Each figure’s own method and sample is behind its ; the long form is on Methodology.
- Never shown: contact details, reliability or payment scores, affiliations, predicted wins.
