Once the deadline has passed submissions can neither be created nor submitted. It is not advisable for Suppliers to wait until the last
moment before creating and dispatching a response in case of any last minute problems. Please note large files should be uploaded as early
as possible to ensure transfer before deadline. If a Supplier is having problems uploading to the PCS site, then the University must be
informed well in advance and depending upon the merit of the case, the University may arrange for the tender to remain open on the PCS
system for a short period after the deadline time stated. System problems do not fall under the University’s remit and should be referred to
PCS.
Postbox Security: Postbox submissions cannot be accessed by anyone, including Millstream, (the provider of the Public Contracts Scotland
system) until the deadline.
