Reason for not signing contract

Summary of Termination:

Telford College commenced a procurement process for the above contract under a Competitive Flexible Procedure. Following completion of the PQQ stage, the number of responses received was significantly lower than anticipated.

In order to ensure open competition, fairness, and best value for money in line with Section 12 of the Procurement Act 2023, the College has taken the decision to terminate the current procurement process.

A new procurement will now be launched under the Open Procedure with the Tender Notice scheduled for publication on 14 October 2025.

Date of Termination:

1 October 2025

Reason for Termination:

Insufficient supplier responses received at the initial stage of the procurement. Continuing with the current procedure would not ensure effective competition or compliance with the principles of transparency and equal treatment.

Next Steps:

A fresh Open Procedure Tender Notice will be published on Find a Tender Service (FTS) on 14 October 2025. All interested suppliers will be invited to participate without restriction at the ITT stage.
