KEY PUBLISHED FACTS

  • Published contact: Chris Murphy
  • Contact email: chris.murphy@dundeecity.gov.uk

Opportunity evidence requires confirmation within 7 days; a source scan alone is not confirmation.

WHY RADAR THINKS PURA MAY FIT

Specialist inspection/maintenance may fit; accreditations, geography and delivery capacity require owner review. This is a Pura hypothesis; detailed scope, delivery capability and procurement constraints still need checking.

Confidence: MEDIUM — notice scope only

Known: the saved buyer requirement above.
Inferred: potential Pura capability match; not buyer-confirmed.

What still needs checking

  • Detailed workflows and acceptance criteria
  • Integration and security requirements
  • Direct contact permission and procurement constraints
  • Proof effort and bounded paid discovery acceptance
