What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionTender for the provision of Business Support to the Early Years, Childcare and Play Sectors in Merthyr Tydfil
Tendr ar gyfer darparu Cymorth Busnes i'r Sectorau Blynyddoedd Cynnar, Gofal Plant a Chwarae ym Merthyr Tudful
- The authority expects to re-tender this requirement around 31 Mar 2028, 23:59 BST.
- No preliminary market engagement: The Contracting Authority is aware that the market is limited so preliminary market engagement would not have been of benefit - also the build up to this tender being prepared was during PCR 2015 too so there would have been no requirement undertake engagement. Mae'r Awdurdod Contractio yn ymwybodol bod y farchnad yn gyfyngedig felly ni fyddai ymgysylltu rhagarweiniol â'r farchnad wedi bod o fudd - hefyd roedd y cyfnod cyn paratoi'r tendr hwn yn ystod PCR 2015 felly ni fyddai unrhyw ofyniad i ymgysylltu â'r farchnad.
