What is being bought

Published requirement description

This is not an opportunity but a VEAT notice to publish the intent to enter into a contract for an experienced local supplier for the provision of a sustainable active travel network. The opportunity was published via Contracts Finder but the Council did not reasonably foresee the estimated contract value exceeding the PCR threshold for services based on the Council's knowledge, experience and contract value from a previous contract for similar services. As such the Council are publishing a VEAT notice on the ground of ineffectiveness in accordance with PCR Regulation 99(1)(2) under Part 2(6)(7).
