DATA QUALITY
Gaps and source limitations
Lot inconsistency
99% confidenceThe description refers to three bridge lots, but the structured tender, award and contract data publish only Lot 1.
View supporting evidence
Tender description names Macclesfield (Lot 1), St Marks (Lot 2) and Primrose Hill (Lot 3); tender lots contains only id 1 and award 1 relates to Lot 1.
Lot allocation clarity
97% confidenceIt is unclear from the structured data whether the single published Lot 1 fully encompasses all three bridge workstreams described.
View supporting evidence
The description names three lots, whereas the published award is linked only to Lot 1.
Unpublished procurement detail
99% confidenceInformation not supplied in the published notice: award decision date, tender dates, bidder numbers, evaluation, award rationale and individual lot values.
View supporting evidence
Relevant fields are absent or null in the supplied record.
SOURCE DATA LIMITATIONS
Information not supplied in the published notice
- The narrative describes Macclesfield, St Marks and Primrose Hill as Lots 1, 2 and 3, but structured publication data contains only Lot 1; the allocation of the published contract across the described bridge workstreams is therefore unclear.
- No individual lot values are published; the £38,633.75 gross amount is retained as a contract-level value.
- Information not supplied in the published notice includes tender and award decision dates, bid count, evaluation detail, award rationale, pricing breakdown and extension or renewal provisions.
