What is being bought

Published requirement description

Following an Open Procurement Procedure and on conclusion of the evaluation of all received tenders, the contracting authority was unable to award the contract due to the fact that none of the bidders met the technical requirements set out in the ITT and due to concerns re: interoperability there was no alternative but to terminate the procurement. Celtic Sea Power therefore intend to move to Direct Award
