Coverage: 280 active published awards; 276 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Published-to-award variance compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

Planning and rationale
Planning budgetNot published
No-engagement rationaleNot published
Procedure rationaleDue to the nature and scale of this requirement installations of both hardware and software due to a change of supplier would oblige the contracting authority to acquire suppliers having different technical characteristics which would result in incompatibility and disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance due the required integration with nine different platforms.
