We aim to inform the successful tenderer by 25th October , with a view to an implementation meeting on 8thNovember 2019 and Tenderers must be available on that date in order that we can agree practicalities of operation and final contract terms.

You are also asked to note that this contract(s) will attract financial penalties if performance does not meet specified outputs.

CTC will accompany a tenderer on a site visit(s) if this is required . However, the information is contained within the Appendices that should enable this Tender submission to be carried out.
Should any clarification be required, you are more than welcome to contact me on Friday 4th or 11th October either by email, phone or in person; I will do my best to clarify any issues you are not clear on. If, in doing so, this reveals a significant issue not covered in the original tender documentation, I would then seek to advise all tenderers of such an issue to ensure fairness of the process.
As part of this process you should accompany your tender submission with two written references from your existing customers as to your professional competence , reliability and suitability to carry out these proposed works.
Failure to provide these will automatically disqualify you from the tender process.
Finally, in closing, thank you in advance for taking the time to consider this tender, and I look forward to receiving it.
