How should you check a record before using it?
Follow its notice page to the original publication, then read the current document and value basis.

Publications: Find a Tender and Contracts Finder.
- Open the linked tender page and its original publication, where recorded.
- Separate publication, award and response dates.
- Read the value basis; a framework ceiling is not money spent.
