View supporting evidence

The completed Companies House matching workflow returned "checked_unmatched" with no verified company name or number.

Delivery-location data quality

97% confidence

Published information coverage

99% confidence

View supporting evidence

These fields are absent from the supplied process, award, lot and document data.

SOURCE DATA LIMITATIONS

Information not supplied in the published notice

The published supplier name, Dan's Prebooked Cars, could not be safely matched to a Companies House company and is therefore unverified.
The source does not explicitly confirm a signed contract, despite recording an active award and a stated contract period.
No bid count, evaluation scores, award rationale, detailed pricing, extension terms or individual lot allocation was supplied.
Structured delivery-location data is inconsistent with the specific route description because it lists multiple broad territories.

COMMON QUESTIONS

About this award
