Evidence conclusion

Signed terms and equipment progress

The official record names the buyer and ZPMC, specifies four cranes and reports an active GBP 43,594,074 excluding-VAT award. It also records GBP 52,312,888 including VAT and a planned period ending 1 October 2027. The scheduled 3 October 2025 signature is a future-signature milestone in the original notice; the reviewed family contains no signed-contract object. Actual design approval, production, shipping, erection, integration, load testing, acceptance and operation remain unconfirmed. The earlier GBP 52 million excluding-VAT estimate provides separate procurement context.
