Also, the newly-published contract: contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachm… is *still* redacted, 12 pages shorter, and missing interesting parts not even marked...

...which suggests it was FAR more than just tweets that @faculty_ai was processing, including: "utility providers and telecom bills, credit rating agencies, etc. as well as data provided by @mhclg".
