supplier not published—28 Sept 2026CancelledFollowing a review of the Authority's requirements, it has been determined that the underlying business needs have changed since the procurement process commenced. As a result, the current specification and scope no longer accurately reflect the Authority's requirements. The decision has therefore been made to abandon this procurement process with immediate effect.
