- COODEN MEDICAL CLINIC is an unverified source supplier name. Identity matching completed without a safe company match, so no Companies House verification is implied.
- No contract value, pricing, contract start or end date, award date, tenderer count, evaluation detail, extension terms or renewal terms was supplied.
- The source does not explain whether the cancelled-lot status supersedes, coexists with, or is unrelated to the active award and signed contract record.
