What is being bought
Natural Resources Wales Ground Preparation Services Framework Agreement.
Natural Resources Wales (NRW) intends to establish a framework agreement for the provision of ground preparation services and is undertaking a preliminary market engagement exercise to inform the potential future supply of Ground Preparation Services through a Pre Market Engagement Questionnaire and supplier engagement days.
The purpose of the engagement is to gather market insight, help shape our approach and ensure that suppliers are aware of the upcoming opportunity. Participation is optional and does not form part of any formal evaluation, nor will it affect a supplier's ability to participate in the future procurement.
Instructions on how to access the pre market engagement questionnaire and dates for the supplier engagement days can be found in the engagement section of this notice.
