Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

To extend the current contract, as provisioned, for a period of up to 12 months (5th November 2025 – 4th November 2026) whilst the re-procurement process is completed.

Reasons for the decision:

The Council has decided to extend the current contract for a period of up to 12 months, as provisioned within the contract to enable a re-procurement exercise to be undertaken. This will ensure continuity of service during this period.

Alternative options considered:

A procurement process was completed, however having reviewed the specification the council has identified that the specification is unlikely to meet the Council’s changing needs. The decision has therefore been taken to discontinue that process.
