Tenderers to note that the estimated value of 8 200 000 GBP stated at Section II.2.6 is the initial costing analysis of the indicative total capital costs of developing the project, and is not the level of remuneration that will be received by the selected Delivery Partner. This costing analysis and details of the remuneration levels which may be received by the selected Delivery Partner are detailed further in the tender documentation.
Tenderers to note that although Section II.2.7 states the duration of the contract is 999 months this is incorrect and it is the intention of Ceredigion County Council that the site will be leased to the selected Delivery Partner on a long lease of 125 years (1 500 months). Section II.2.7 would not permit the correct duration of 125 years to be entered.
