Interested parties are to note;

- the Utilities requirements will be predominantly Design & Build.

- participants can not bid for a shaft lot in isolation (lots 12-17) they must have drilling/ tunnelling capability.

- during tendering bidders will be evaluated and subsequently awarded Lots where bidders have demonstrated the required competency.

The Utilities intend to call of works via mini competition or direct allocation where direct allocation allows.

Further detail is provided in the PQQ and RFP Briefings and tender documents
