The Authority hereby notifies you that the Defence Soft Facilities Management procurement, reference 712607459 (“Procurement”) is hereby terminated with immediate effect, in accordance with paragraph 2.6 of the PQQ Guidance Document issued 17th January 2025.
Following the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire response date suppliers raised further concerns regarding the win restrictions. The Authority’s view is that the definitions which would trigger the win restrictions may have created uncertainty amongst bidders. The Authority believes that this may have materially influenced bidders’ decisions on whether to participate or not.
We would like to thank all interested parties for their engagement with the Procurement.
