Awarded toValueDateStatus
supplier not published—25 Sept 2026CancelledFollowing completion of the evaluation process and associated clarification activities, Sanctuary has concluded that the bids received did not demonstrate a solution capable of meeting the required combination of Time Management and Rostering requirements set out in the tender. Sanctuary has therefore decided to abandon the procurement exercise and not proceed to contract award. Accordingly, no contract will be awarded under the current procurement exercise.
