COMMON QUESTIONS
About this award
Who was named in the award?
The award names “Otis” as supplier. The supplied identity-checking data did not find a safe Companies House match, so this remains an unverified source name.
What is the published contract value?
The linked contract value is £10,509.20 GBP. It is not separately allocated to the supplier or lot in the published data.
Was the contract signed?
The contract record explicitly gives a signature date of 20 July 2026. However, the source also marks the related lot as cancelled, while the award and contract are active.
How was the supplier selected?
The notice says this was a direct call-off from an established framework, without a further competition.
