Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

Across several lots1 award
supplier not published—28 Apr 2026CancelledIn accordance with the provisions set out in section 55 of the Procurement Act 2023, the Contracting Authority has decided not to proceed to contract award and to terminate the procurement process prior to award. The Act expressly permits a contracting authority to discontinue a procurement at any point before entering into a public contract, provided the decision is taken in a manner consistent with the procurement objectives and general duties set out in section 12 of the Act. The decision to terminate was taken for legitimate and proportionate reasons and prior to the publication of any Supplier Assessment Summaries, such that no award decision had crystallised. A procurement termination notice (UK12) is therefore published to ensure transparency and to formally conclude the procurement in accordance with the statutory requirements. The decision to terminate reflects a reassessment of the Contracting Authority's current hierarchy of obligations and was taken in the public interest. The Contracting Authority may, engage further with the market before recommencing procurement and relaunching the procurement process.
