Other Information

A supplier "bidders day" was held on Wednesday 27 August 2025 at 10.30am - 12.00 noon, via Microsoft Teams and gave suppliers an opportunity to ask Procurement and/or the Commissioning area questions in relation to the procurement process. Suppliers were requested to have familiarised themselves with the Tender Documents prior to this event to avoid duplicating questions raised previously and already answered. Where a supplier was unable to attend, information was shared via an e-tendering Proactis post, shortly after the event. This included any questions asked and their respective answers. Suppliers were still be able to submit pre-tender clarifications after the event in line with the process outlined in the IA3595 ITT Procurement Pack. ** PREVIEW NOTICE, please check Find a Tender for full details. **
