Procurement Information
An open FTS tender was conducted with ref DN548857 for both an operator (Lot 1) and a technology provider (Lot 2). Lot 2 was successfully awarded. No suitable tenders were received in response to Lot 1. The Authority was unable to proceed with the award due to the fact that submitted bids didn't meet the Selection Criteria or the Price exceeded the Authority's budget. Therefore, the Authority is satisfied that circumstances described under Reg. 32(2)(a) apply.
