- The published tender value (£39,000) conflicts with the award-record value (£0), so no award value is attributed to the supplier.
- The award notice publication date is after the stated contract end date; the record does not explain this chronology.
- Information not supplied in the published notice includes bid numbers, evaluation and award rationale, a pricing breakdown, lot-level allocation detail, extension terms and evidence of contract signature.
