Commercial outcome & contract awards
Published awards, contracts and bid statistics, not a forecast| Awarded to | Value | Date | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| supplier not published | — | 1 Oct 2026 | CancelledFollowing a review of the tender exercise, it has been identified that two material questions relating to consoles and bins were omitted from the published tender documentation. As a result, the Health Board is unable to undertake a consistent like-for-like comparison of the financial and commercial submissions received. The significant variation in the information provided by suppliers also indicates that there may have been differing interpretations of the requirements. Having carefully considered the position, the Health Board has concluded that proceeding with the current tender exercise and making an award decision would not provide sufficient assurance that the requirements had been understood and assessed consistently by all participating suppliers. |
