SOURCE DATA LIMITATIONS
Information not supplied in the published notice
- The supplier name Perth Radio Taxis Limited is a source name only: the completed Companies House workflow found no safe match, so no legal-entity verification is implied.
- The tender deadline of 7 January 2027 conflicts chronologically with the 15 October 2026 award publication and the stated 20 October 2026 service commencement.
- The embedded parties list contains apparently unrelated organisations; analysis relies on the process buyer and the supplier explicitly linked to award awd-1.
- Information not supplied in the published notice includes procurement method, award decision date, bid count, evaluation, contract signature evidence, duration, end date, extensions and pricing breakdown.
