To ensure fairness, transparency and equal treatment of all Tenderers, HIAL will shortly issue a replacement tender opportunity with the correct evaluation weighting. Please note that the only change relates to the quality/price weighting split. All other tender requirements, specifications, terms and conditions and supporting documentation remain unchanged. HIAL apologises for any inconvenience caused and thanks Tenderers for their interest in this opportunity."
