Evaluation of responses was conducted and the result concluded. During the post-award standstill period, we received clarification enquiries regarding our evaluation methodology, in particular that relating to the pricing submissions. We promptly conducted further analysis of all pricing submissions received, including seeking clarifications from each bidder. As a result of this, it became apparent that pricing submissions received from the bidders did not meet the requirements set out in the ITT. Further analysis raised concerns that the bids could not be compared on a like for like basis due to a variety of pricing models being submitted. Accordingly, we decided the only fair and realistic course of action was to discontinue the procurement.
