The Councils reserve the right not to accept requests to participate that are received after the deadline. Bidders are encouraged to submit their submissions well in advance of the stated date and time in order to avoid issues such as technical difficulties with the electronic system that may be due to the high volumes of traffic attempting to submit applications on the same date at the same time.",
