|---|---|---|---|
| supplier not published | — | 9 Sept 2026 | CancelledIn accordance with the tender instructions, the Authority has decided to terminate this procurement due to a change in its business direction and strategic priorities. As a result, the Authority's requirements have materially changed from those originally set out in the tender documentation. Consequently, the Authority no longer requires the services as specified and considers it necessary to discontinue the current procurement exercise. The procurement is therefore terminated in line with the provisions of the tender instructions. |
