Status Details
Following a review of the bids received, the procurement did not attract the quantity of bids anticipated to sufficiently demonstrate value for money. The University has therefore decided to undertake a strategic reassessment of the scope of services contained within the tender documents to ensure that the quality of services required can be delivered within the budget that the University has allocated for this service.
