Commercial outcome & contract awards

| supplier not published | — | 14 Jan 2026 | CancelledFollowing the recent tender process, it was determined that the existing specification would not adequately meet service needs, particularly in light of the findings from the recent CQC inspection. To allow sufficient time to undertake a comprehensive review of service requirements, address the anticipated increase in demand, and explore opportunities for collaboration, the Council proposes entering into a short-term contract with the incumbent provider. |
