What is being bought

Published requirement description

Suppliers are invited to submit a tender for the provision to Three Rivers District Council (the “Council”) for Landscape & Environmental Design for the Rickmansworth Aquadrome Project. Following a successful Development Phase application to The National Lottery Heritage Fund, the Council requires early-stage planning and resources in preparation for a detailed submission to the National Lottery for Delivery Phase.1.7The Aquadrome is a well-used site, offering a unique opportunity to engage with the high numbers of visitors to proactively inform, educate and share the value and significance of the site’s habitats, wildlife and impact on wellbeing. The Plan emphasizes that linked to the global Climate Change emergency, the window for influencing behavioural change and an awareness of how vital the local environment is, must be seized now to ensure the balance of Rickmansworth Aquadrome is achieved.

  • How the procedure runs: All suppliers responses will be evaluated and up to three bidders will be invited for tender presentation and interview. The interviews would follow an initial evaluation and moderation. The initial evaluation scores would be adjusted based on the clarifications sought at the interviews. A final moderation stage would determine the outcome of the evaluation. The interview is part of the evaluation process and is an opportunity for the evaluation panel to clarify any matters in the submission. It is not intended as an opportunity for a sales pitch and is not a negotiation or opportunity to adjust any rates or prices submitted.
