| supplier not published | — | 12 Aug 2026 | CancelledFollowing a review of the project programme, it was determined that the proposed completion date would not deliver the anticipated benefits within the required timeframe, reducing overall value for money. In addition, a wider review identified the need to expand the scope to encompass the whole of the Smith Centre. As this represents a material change to the original requirements, the current procurement process will be cancelled and a new procurement undertaken to reflect the revised scope. |
