- Status
- cancelled (1 May 2026), Despite good faith efforts by the Contracting Authority, it has not proved possible to agree final contract terms that are acceptable to the Contracting Authority and the Preferred Bidder which are consistent with the requirements set out in the Invitation to Tender ("ITT") and the Authority's statutory obligations. As permitted under section 55 of the Procurement Act 2023 and paragraph 6 of ITT Document 1, the Contracting Authority has therefore decided to terminate the procurement procedure.
