Section VI: Complementary information
VI.3) Additional information
The Authority has decided to terminate the tender process without making any award for Lot 2 (Print Consumables), for the following reasons:
1. Whilst the Authority does not believe that there is any flaw in the tender process, continuing with the award is likely to lead to legal proceedings which would delay contract award and cause the Authority to incur disproportionate expense and wasted resources in dealing with such proceedings; and
2. The need to protect and preserve public funds.

- Welsh Minister, their agencies, sponsored and statutory bodies and other contracting authorities funded by them;
- The Welsh Assembly Commission;
- UK Government, their agencies, companies and limited liability partnerships or other corporate entities, which operate in Wales;
