I can confirm that, despite non-compliance with the requirement to seek at least three quotes, the award of this contract to the above supplier will be best value for the Council for the following reason(s):
Quotation invitations were sent to four contractors 08/04/2024 with a deadline of 16/04/2024. One contractor declined to quote, an additional invite was sent to another contractor the same day (total of 5 invitations sent).
