Bidders should not leave matters open for discussion but must give a full and detailed response to the Requirement. Bidders must submit their responses using the response templates provided in accordance with the ITT. Bidders must adhere to any word counts stated within the question and response template and are not permitted to include tables, images, hyperlinks or appendices as part of the Tender, as these will be redacted and not evaluated. Any response that exceeds the permitted word count will be redacted after the word limit has been met and the redacted text will not be evaluated. Bidders must not change the format of the response template and must submit in for format stated in the ITT.

1.2 A Tender shall be submitted by the response date indicated in the ITT.

1.3 The Bidder should ensure that all information that is requested within the ITT and Bravo eTender Wales is included within the Bidder’s Tender submission.

1.4 Bidders must provide explicit and comprehensive Tender responses as these will be the single source of information on which the evaluation will be made for award.

1.5 Bidders must notify NWSSP immediately of any change in the information submitted in your Tender response at any time during the Procurement.

1.6 All correspondence and messages concerning the procurement process must be routed via Bravo eTender Wales.

1.7 Any enquiries associated with the ITT must be directed via Bravo eTender Wales.

1.8 It is the sole responsibility of Bidders to ensure that their access to this procurement exercise through Bravo eTender Wales enables them to respond to clarification requests promptly.

1.9 All requests for clarification or further information required during the procurement process should be submitted through the messaging facility via Bravo eTender Wales. No approach of any kind (other than in exceptional circumstances e.g. messaging facility unavailable) in connection with the ITT should be made to any other person within, or associated with, NWSSP, Health Boards, NHS Trusts, their employees or their professional and/or technical advisors. Doing so may lead to Bidders being excluded from this procurement.

1.10 NWSSP will respond to all reasonable clarifications as soon as possible through publishing the Bidders' questions (in an anonymised format) and NWSSP response to them via the messaging facility in Bravo eTender Wales. If a Bidder wishes NWSSP to treat a clarification as confidential and not issue the response to all Bidders, it must state this when submitting the clarification. If, in the opinion of NWSSP, the clarification is not confidential, NWSSP will inform the Bidder and it will have an opportunity to withdraw it. If the clarification is not withdrawn, the response will be issued to all Bidders.
