Commercial & procurement leadership

Who signs off contracts, owns frameworks and runs SME engagement.

Coming Q3 2026

Curated leadership roster

Chief commercial officer, framework owners, SME lead and clinical sign-offs per buyer. Top-50 contracting authorities first, rolling out by sector.

Modifications · 8 in 90 d

Variations logged under Procurement Act 2023 s.74. Above-tolerance modifications attract a flag.

Coming Q3 2026

Per-modification s.74 classification + tolerance flagging

We see 8 notices tagged with a modification flag in the last 90 d. Next phase parses each one against PA 2023 s.74 limbs and surfaces above-tolerance flags.

Compliance & transparency

FOIA performance, statutory disclosures & prompt payment.

Coming Q4 2026

FOIA & prompt-payment ingestion

Notice timeliness and modification flags are derivable today. FOIA refusal rate, prompt-payment %, KPI reporting and net-zero plans need new data sources — work scoped, ingestion next quarter.

SME & social value
