Commercial outcome & contract awards
Published awards, contracts and bid statistics, not a forecast| Awarded to | Value | Date | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| supplier not published | — | 1 Jul 2026 | CancelledThe contracting authority has decided to terminate the procurement process following the identification of an issue within the procurement documents relating to the stated minimum insurance requirements. Subsequent review confirmed that the insurance threshold specified within the tender documentation was higher than the level considered necessary and proportionate for the contract requirements. The contracting authority considers that this may have affected market participation and competition. In the interests of transparency, fairness and equal treatment of suppliers, the procurement procedure has therefore been terminated. The contracting authority intends to consider the most appropriate next steps including the potential re-procurement of the requirement using revised documentation. |
