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

Coming Q3 2026

We see 2 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

Coming Q4 2026

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.
