\r
For further information, please refer to the tender documents. \r
\r
Bidders are advised that the deadline set out is absolute. You are advised to upload your submission well in advance of the deadline to avoid any technical issues that might arise causing you to fail to meet the deadline which would lead to the rejection of your submission. The Council is conscious that Bidders spend a huge amount of time, effort and expense in putting together a submission and is keen to ensure that no bid is rejected for this reason. \r

In submitting your quotation you agree to contract on the terms and conditions that have been issued as part of this opportunity.
