    Statement Upheld Commercial and contracts 28-May-2020

    Summary: Mr C complains that there was fault in the way the Council ran a tender for a contract for which his company bid successfully, but which was later awarded to a competitor.

The Council has agreed to apologise to Mr C, pay him £250 for the frustration that he experienced at having the contract rescinded, and review its procurement procedures.
