## Description
Norfolk County Council conducted a competitive procurement to purchase two mobile libraries to replace ageing fleet in 2021. The contract was awarded to Nu-Track Ltd (contract award notice reference 2021/S 000-021840) to build two mobile libraires on chassis which were purchased by Nu-Track Ltd from TBF Thompson DAF Trucks Ltd, a division of TBF Thompson (Garvagh) Ltd.
Nu-Track Ltd subsequently entered insolvency and were unable to complete the build of the two mobile libraries that were commissioned.
The partially completed libraries were re-acquired by TBF Thompson (Garvagh) limited and Norfolk County Council have entered into a contract for the completion of the mobile libraries by T B F THOMPSON (GARVAGH) LIMITED as they hold legal title to the partly completed vans and therefore Norfolk County Council was not able to compete this requirement.
