Question for the public body

What justifies each direct award and how do the contracts’ subject matters relate?

Documents and records to verify

Compare objects, dates and suppliers across the period. Request the award decisions and the stated grounds for the procedure.

14 days between signing and publication

Signing is recorded on 2026-01-13 and publication on 2026-01-27, an interval of 14 days. Recorded dates may need correction; this calculation does not establish a legal breach.

Question for the public body

What explains the gap between the recorded signing and publication dates?

Documents and records to verify

Check both dates against BASE and the signed contract. Ask when the record was submitted and whether it was corrected.

This observation does not establish favouritism, illegality or loss. Verify the documents and seek the public body’s explanation before publishing.
