"description": "Following the relevant sites review, it has been determined that some locations fall outside the scope of the contract/Lots under this tender. As a result, the financial threshold needed updating. In addition, to encourage more SMEs to take part in this procurement, we have identified and varied some conditions of participations. Specifically, these include: * Adjustments to the required insurance levels * Revisions to the minimum financial threshold To allow participants sufficient time to take these changes into account in their submissions, the tender closing date has been extended to 28 July 2025. The deadline for clarification questions has also been extended to Tuesday, 22 July 2025."
