Value of one-off contracts won alone · number of awards
One-off contracts with a single supplier total €136,642,824 in awarded value; the largest single award is 80% of that. 3 framework agreements are not included, as they publish a ceiling. Awarded value is not money paid.
2 awards whose published duration ends between 12 Oct 2026 and a year later.
End dates add the published duration to the award date. Contracts can be extended, ended early or renewed without a new notice, so this is a guide to when work may come back to market, not a schedule.
These suppliers are CRO companies that won at least one award from this buyer and also appear in the Register of Lobbying or a Register of Members’ Interests. Appearing in both does not mean an award was influenced. Open each company to see the records and how they were matched.
