The people responsible for the work told me what they needed from me, confirmed receipt, and asked follow-up questions.

Employment information and other people’s private records remained subject to the proper limits.

I supplied the comparison chart, the authorization copy, and the complete relevant household statement through a secure channel.

I described how I obtained each item.

The original company versions and payment records could then be sought independently.

My report did not say that the highest bid proved corruption.

It asked why the price difference had been accepted, whether the proposed services were genuinely comparable, what work had been delivered, who had approved it, and whether interests in the agency had been disclosed.
