  • Emergency repairs Out of Hours – We estimate 120 jobs per quarter needing to be completed on an emergency basis, reinstating power, dealing with unsafe electrical installations.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Responsive Maintenance Framework Agreement - Ref 01003” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

    Interested suppliers are invited to attend one of our ‘Meet the Buyer’ sessions, held Tuesday 6th May, Monday 12th May and Tuesday 13th May at Tai Tarian’s head office, Ty Gwyn.

    To register your interest in attending please email [email protected]

    The deadline to register is 5pm Tuesday 29th April 2025.

    The session will allow interested suppliers the opportunity to meet with Tai Tarian’s representatives to gain an understanding of our requirements. In addition to this, Tai Tarian hopes that by providing this opportunity, suppliers can demonstrate what is currently possible in the market and to help shape our requirements moving forward.

    For example, we are asking for interested contractors to tell us:

    • What makes a contract attractive to them.
    • What lot(s) would be of interest to them.
    • Their experience of undertaking work in the specified workstreams/areas
    • Lessons learnt from previous contracts.
    • Why they want to work with Tai Tarian.
    • Innovative ways of working (doing things differently).
    • Opportunities to reduce the environmental impact of our contracts and material specification choices.

    Please note that the ‘Meet the Buyer’ sessions will only be conducted on the days advised above and that time slots will be allocated on a first come first served basis. When all slots are filled, we will be unable to extend these sessions further.

    Please note that recording an interest is voluntary and potential tenderers will not be advantaged or disadvantaged through participation in the ‘Meet the Buyer’ event and any discussions held will not form part of any formal tender process. Tai Tarian reserves the right to change its requirements prior to the Contract Notice being issued and this Pre-Market Engagement Notice does not commit Tai Tarian to undertake any procurement process.

    It is anticipated that a Contract Notice will be published within the coming weeks.
