Expressions of Interest Sought
Re-launch of Swansea's Sustainability Trail
Swansea Environmental Forum (SEF) promotes and facilitates environmental sustainability in Swansea. The partnership of public, voluntary and private sector members was set up in 1985 and runs the innovative “Sustainable Swansea” project. Sustainable Swansea's aim is to make Swansea a more sustainable place to live, work, and visit.
Project outline
Swansea Environmental Forum is seeking expressions of interest for a contract that will carry out the recommendations of our recent review of Sustainable Swansea's Sustainability Trail. The report is available on request.
The review suggested changes to the system, a number of additions and the production of new resources, so that it will remain an excellent local showcase of sustainability in action. The updated trail will incorporate 28 sites that offer good practice examples of different aspects of sustainability.
The contract will include gathering information from sites and collating them for inclusion on the website and in a new trail leaflet and online educational resource.
More information can be found in the 'Resources' column on this page.
Application Process
Parties interested in applying for this contract should draft a written expression of interest with full contact details, an outline of approaches and methods that will be employed, a full costing bid (including daily rate and estimated total number of contract hours), two references and a statement describing relevant experience, qualities and skills. The contract will be offered on either a self-employed basis or as a contract with an existing organisation and it is anticipated that the successful party will provide their own office space and appropriate equipment.
Please send your application to the following by 1pm on Tuesday 10th January 2012 to:
Jenny Edwards, The Environment Centre, Pier Street, Swansea, SA1 1RY or email: jenny@environmentcentre.org.uk
If you wish to discuss this contract, please contact Jenny on 01792 480200.
*Important Information:
A number of people have voiced concern that the number of working days we proposed for completion of the contract has been under estimated.
So, I would like to make it clear that this timing is just a suggestion and that we would still welcome tenders that offer good value, but exceed this period of work.
In the tender assessment process we will look at not just cost, but also value for money and the quality of the deliverables we are promised.
Therefore, I am advising applicants to ensure that they show a clear breakdown of deliverables against their associated estimated working days and costs. This will assist the panel enormously in their decisions.
