Please note BlueLight Commercial Limited (being the current contracting authority of the Procurement, having replaced West Yorkshire Combined Authority as the Authority) took the decision to abandon Lot 2 and Lot 3 of this Procurement.
The Authority decided that, in light of the quantum of the initial bids and the indication from tenderers given during subsequent commercial workshops, that these initial bids would likely only increase at final tender stage, it would not represent value for money to the public purse, for it to proceed with Lot 2 and Lot 3 of the Procurement.
Bidders were notified of this abandonment on 5th July 2024.
