Report for December 2019

Report Date

December 2019

Achievements this period

• Evaluation of bids - mandatory requirements evaluation conducted

Issues

• Unfortunately none of the suppliers successfully passed the mandatory question exercise
• Consensus meetings therefore cancelled
• With no suppliers left the team asked Procurement for advice. There is the possibility of the NCA (non-compliance action) route where we cancel the procurement but this has strict rules and need to justify.
• In the meantime project is on hold and that further action is subject to senior management's decision (escalated to  Gavin McLachlan)

See notes of meeting 5 December and piccl 10

Next Steps

• Has been escalated to Gavin McLachlan and the team await his advice before moving forward

Milestones

These milestones are now out of date - once we know how to proceed with the procurement we can reschedule the dates
