This is not uncommon. I have worked on three or four public framework bids in the last year that have ended-up on the shelf, then retendered.

Often what happens is that there is a change in senior personel at a public body, in estates or procurement, or even at the top. They then decide that they want to do things there own sweet way, and the existing process is shredded. I sometimes think that top brass find out that the firms that end up on the framework shortlist are not good enough, or not what they were expecting, so they redo the whole thing until they get the shortlist they are after.
