Decision details

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic we are unable to undertake a procurement exercise for the Supply of Community Equipment commencing 2021. Since the current contract is a framework agreement we aim to identify the amount quantity and type of equipment purchased from our contracted providers over the last 12 months, so we can continue to purchase similar quantities for the next 12 months until 31st May 2022 under the existing terms and conditions.
