The tender process was co-ordinated by the
Council’s Commissioning and Procurement team through a
two-stage tender process. The first stage Pre-Qualification
Questionnaire was carried out via Suffolk County Council’s
sourcing E-tendering system in December 2020. The PQQ submission
was January 2021, and five contractors were selected to go through
to the second price-based tender process. Tender returns were
received in February 2021 and the tender remains open for
acceptance until 14th May 2021.
