NOTE: The authority is using eTenderwales to carry out this procurement process. To obtain further information record your interest on Sell2Wales at https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=140729
The Contracting Authority does not intend to include any community benefit requirements in this contract for the following reason:
Social value will not be requested on this contract as despite an overall high contract value, there are 84 lot positions and therefore the spend per contractor is quite low, plus the contractors are likely to be very small in nature, many sole traders, so their potential SV responses would be extremely limited.
