"description": "Please note that we have taken the decision not to proceed with this procurement for the following reasons:
(a) The Instructions to Tenderers Document 01 did not stipulate with sufficient clarity that in their pricing of Phase 2 and Phase 3 works at the 5 Designated Sites, tenderers were to price the battery storage capacity specified for each of those Designated Sites as set out in the Asset List (Pricing Schedule Document 09).
(b) The Instructions to Tenderers Document 01 and the Pricing Schedule Document 09 contained contradictory instructions regarding the completion of two tabs within the Pricing Schedule - the Schedule of Rates and the Dayworks Schedule. 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.
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.",
