The decision has been taken on the basis of the supplier achieving the second lowest tendered price having been evaluated using the ECC fee percentages. The lowest tendered price was disregarded following correspondence regarding the assumptions made at the time of tender and the risks associated. Those risks made the lowest price commercially unviable for the Contractor.
A competitive process was undertaken from which 6 bids were received; these were considered as part of the formal evaluation process. The lowest tender was based on assumptions that the Contractor had not checked with DCC. Those assumptions made the price commercially unviable for the Contractor putting the County Council at risk.
None known to the head of Service for Economy and Enterprise
