Information not supplied in the published notice
- The published data does not provide distinct lot titles, lot descriptions, lot values, supplier-level values or a confirmed aggregate framework value.
- The same £3.2 million gross amount is repeated across all three contracts, so value attribution is ambiguous.
- Lots 1 and 2 have overlapping awards, but supplier ranking and intended call-off shares are not published.
- Bid counts, evaluation scores, tender rankings, pricing, order volumes and reasons for award were not supplied in the published notice.
