This counts this buyer’s BASE contracts naming the same supplier from 2024-01-01 to 2026-04-10, once per contract. It does not measure payments or each supplier’s allocation.
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.
1300 days between signing and publication
Signing is recorded on 2021-08-06 and publication on 2025-02-26, an interval of 1300 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.
Supplier totals use published shares; where unavailable, equal allocation is an estimate.
