The obligation to complete all of the cells within these two tabs was unclear and no test of compliance was imposed in relation to the completion of those cells.<br/>As a result of (a) and (b), tenderers did not interpret the instructions in a uniform way and the Council was unable to assess compliance with its instructions or to evaluate bids on a like for like basis in order to identify the Most Economically Advantageous Tender.",
