seven.2) Other additional information
Due to disruption caused by Storm Arwen, The Council have decided to extend the deadline by a further 2 days. It is recognised that tenderers may have had to direct their resources to operational areas rather than producing a tender on the lead up to the deadline. By extending further, it is hoped that tenderers will have more time to produce a suitable tender.
