The source identifies ALBION ELECTRIC STORES LIMITED as supplier for lot 1, with a stated award value of £17,000 excluding VAT (£20,400 including VAT). The detailed award record is pending and lists a future signature date, so the supplied data does not confirm that a contract has been signed or started.
Published outcomeA direct, below-threshold procurement without competition identifies ALBION ELECTRIC STORES LIMITED for the electrical-components requirement. The notice data should be treated as a pending award rather than evidence of an active concluded contract.
