SOURCE DATA LIMITATIONS
Information not supplied in the published notice
- The amendment rationale says the contract expires in June 2027, but the structured lot and contract fields state 31 March 2027. Neither date has been selected as the definitive expiry date beyond reporting the structured field and contradiction.
- Two supplier party IDs are listed but both resolve to the same verified legal entity. The notice does not explain the duplication, so the £202,500 total is not allocated between entries.
- The published material does not provide the original contract value as a structured value, amendment-effective date, prices or rates, competition data, bids, scores, or detailed evaluation information.
