PUBLIC-MONEY QUESTION
What can Contracts Finder award data prove?
Separate what the published record says from conclusions it cannot support alone.
THE SHORT ANSWER
An award notice can evidence that a buyer published a contract record with specified names, dates, classifications and values. It cannot alone prove payment, delivery, value for money, ownership or misconduct.
