A mandatory in person site visit is required to ensure Bidders have a full understanding of the two Counting Centres and the requirements at each site. Due to the high-profile nature of the elections, the Council needs to ensure bidders fully understand all requirements.

Full details are provided in the ITT Stage 1 - Selection Specific Information document. The site visits are planned to take place 16th October 2023 and due to time pressures and access to the sites we are unable to offer an alternative date.
