To approve option 1 – To award the contract to the bidder who has met all the evaluation criteria and previously provided a high-quality service and the delivery of tangible social value outcomes.

Option 1 – To award the contract to the bidder who has met all the evaluation criteria and previously provided a high-quality service and the delivery of tangible social value outcomes.
