Perhaps, something went wrong as I am a ex-civil servant..
That is so disappointing. Why didn’t the hr inform you that you were not selected but left you hanging there? Or were they waiting for their first choice’s decision and in case the first candidate rejects, it goes to you? Anyways, after last round interview, HR will conduct reference before informing that a candidate is selected?

I always thought the sequence is : interview>offer>reference>medical>contract
