In this particular case, based on the auditor general's findings there was little to no contract or paperwork at all, hence why the estimate went up to 60 million based on what she could find that referred to and were linked to ArriveCAN.
In the end, ~19 million of that went directly in GCStrategies pockets while doing no IT work.

Your second and third paragrpahs is unrelated to the bolded section. I agree with you the lack of contracts with scopes of work is a concern as is the sole sourcing. The appearance of conflicts of interest is just as bad as conflicts of interest.
To your first paragraph the bolded paragraph does not state that no businesses cases or justification was prepared. It just states people saw this large funding initiative and so tied their projects to it as there is less scrutiny on each individual scope. The bolded section could accurately be describe every major project I have ever worked on.
