Status Details
The Council has decided not to proceed with the award of the contract. The decision is based on the fact that the original tender notice contained material inaccuracies, which affected the procurement process and the information available to potential bidders. As a result, the tender could not proceed fairly and transparently, and the authority has determined that it is not appropriate to sign the contract under the terms published. The authority regrets any inconvenience caused to the bidders and confirms that this action is taken in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 to ensure compliance with legal and procedural obligations.
