As a result, the value that could be obtained from a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) exercise is significantly reduced. With no material likelihood of uncovering new information, it is more prudent to direct resources towards the procurement itself, ensuring efficiency and focus throughout the process."

In accordance with Section 55 of the Procurement Act 2023, and mindful of the statutory obligation under Section 12 to ensure Value for Money, the Authority considers that continuing with this award would not be in the public interest. It is therefore recommended that the procurement process be discontinued, the specification and price weightings reviewed, and a new procurement exercise commenced to better meet statutory objectives.",
