"description": "We have received requests from potential suppliers to extend the timeframe for the submission of tender responses.

Suppliers are encouraged to use the extended period for clarification calls to check their understanding of our requirements. The revised schedule is available at https://norwichuni.ac.uk/about-us/governance/info-publication-scheme/procurement/ and is titled \"Revised Schedule 20/08/24\". Suppliers are also requested to let us have the two dates within the demo & negotiation window on which they will be available to provide a comprehensive demonstration to our selection / advisory panel, in the event that they are shortlisted to provide a demonstration, as soon as possible. Ideally suppliers will provide these ahead of their initial tender submissions, to help us to accommodate supplier choice of demonstration days where possible."
