In the body's own words
- Finding
Mr Trail's conduct advantaged CAMMS over other potential suppliers as it disadvantaged other suppliers by denying them the opportunity to tender and get the work.
- Finding
Proper procurement processes were not followed.

Notes on this record
- Report type assigned by OPAX from the title; the Commission tags every listing item Report.
Coverage
This publisher
- The Commission's website has no copyright or licence page; reports carry the Commission's copyright notice (fair dealing only), so OPAX keeps short verbatim extracts with citations and links the original PDFs.
- Only the reports listing (/publications/reports) is covered. Annual reports, quarterly reports filed under /quarterly-reports, media releases and news items are not report records.
- The listing date is the date the Commission's page was created; the record date is the report's cover date or the tabling date stated on the page where one is given, and the listing date only as a fallback.
- Opinions are extracted only where the Commission states them in a sentence on a single page; opinions in older reports framed differently, or split over a page break, are not extracted (findings not_extracted).
- No text layer, no OCR: scanned reports have no extracted opinions or recommendations.
