East Sussex County Council (18 015 271)
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 Ombudsman has found that the Council was at fault because it did not establish whether Mr C’s bid was compliant before awarding him the contract. 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Council has agreed to apologise to Mr C, pay him £250 for the frustration that he experienced at having the contract rescinded, and review its procurement procedures.
