Additional details

On the basis of the bids received the Council has decided to exercise its right not to make a contract award. Instead the Council is to pursue alternatives, such as partnering with another Council or delegating responsibility to another Council.
The current contract has been extended whilst these alternatives are pursued.

Within the tender documents the Council stated that it was seeking the most cost effective way of fulfilling its statutory obligations.
These included pursuing alternative means of provision (delegation of these responsibilities or partnering).
