Award information

Award 1

Id: 1
Status: cancelled
Status Details: Following the tender submission deadline, Plymouth City Council identified a system configuration issue within the procurement portal which prevented tenderers from uploading certain documents required as part of their submissions. Having reviewed the position, Plymouth City Council has concluded that the issue impacted the integrity of this procurement process, such that submissions cannot be evaluated on a consistent and compliant basis. As the issue arose from the procurement system configuration and was not attributable to tenderers, Plymouth City Council has taken the decision to discontinue the current procurement exercise and re-run the opportunity. This decision has been taken to ensure that all providers are treated fairly and that the procurement process remains transparent and robust.
