Update
Thanks to all who returned tenders.
The evaluation process is taking slightly longer than first anticipated but we hope to arrive at a decision over the next few weeks (allowing for Easter, etc). We are likely to ask clarification questions early next week (w/c 3 April). All bidders will receive an email, which will either contain the clarification questions or will simply confirm there are no clarifications required for their bid. A further message will be sent from the Sell2Wales portal to confirm when the individual emails have been sent.
Thank you.

Clarification questions
Hello
Following on from my previous message, all bidders should now have received an email from myself regarding clarification questions.
If I had pre-submission contact with you then the questions have been emailed to the person I dealt with at the time. If I did not have any previous contact with you then the email was sent to the email address provided with your Sell2Wales submission. If in the unlikely event that you have not received the clarification question email then please email mark.phillips@awen-wales.com or call me on 07834 154824.
Thanks
Mark
