CADW NATIVE PRINCES OF WALES INITIATIVE: Expression of Interest Questionaire.

.

OJEU
EXPRESSION OF INTEREST QUESTIONNAIRE

The Welsh Ministers requires the information sought in this questionnaire from suppliers responding to the OJEU Advert 1451 Castles and Princes of Wales Packages –Heritage Tourism Project dated 28th May  2010.  Responses to this questionnaire will be used as the first step to selecting suppliers to tender.  Failure to provide the required information, make a satisfactory response to any question, or supply requested documentation within the specified time-scale, may mean that suppliers will not be invited to participate further. If your submission is made jointly information must be supplied for all parties.

Evaluation Approach

Responses to this questionnaire will be checked for completeness and compliance before responses are evaluated. Where in the opinion of the Client the suppliers response is inadequate they may be excluded from further consideration.  Responses will then be assessed and as a result of this assessment potential suppliers will be selected to proceed to the next stage of the procurement.

Selection criteria will be as follows –

a)                 Supplier Track Record – the supplier must be able to demonstrate a successful track record of providing similar services.

b)                Supplier Capacity & Capability – Assessment of the totality of resources and core competences available to the supplier.

c)                 Supplier Economic & Financial Capacity – Appraisal of the financial information requested.

THE NATIVE WELSH PRINCIPLALITIES ARE TO RISE AGAIN, If Patriots Can Get Their Act Together Quick Enough, well can you? GO ON THEN!


.
Patriots must really put a move on, give this matter your full attention, forget parading about or what ever you do, you regard as Patriotic? There's going to be no Referendum and the Coalition Government is not going to collapse this side of Xmas plus the Eisteddfod is two months away. The opportunities presented by the Cadw Princes of Wales Initiatives are too good to miss, so go out there and get involved and grab grants. Further, realise even if you have missed ground, not least because there was 'insider' advance notice to the 'Usual Suspects' in the Arts and all and everybody associated with the Welsh Assemblies - Heritage Strategy Group. No matter, if you do a bit of creative thinking there is still much you can associate and advance with and around these Initiatives and also the 'Cultural Olympiad' Initiatives already much grabbed by 'Yr Urdd' and 'Valleys Kid's in an agreed back room 'One Wales' deal between Plaid and Labour. 
.
I in particular call upon 'Cymdeithas Tywysogion', you have taken it upon yourselves to adopt this idea from Initiative Papers I have mailed out and advanced on this blog. I have been good natured and trusting enough to leave this in your hands but you must not just set up a web site, seek members and money and do little else pro - actively. No it does not work like that! You got to call a national conference asap to start moving things along on the fast track before others decide to, not wait for you but go ahead. I suggest in the first place four regional informal meetings are held in Aberffraw, Dinefwr, Mathrafel and for Glywysing a meeting could be held at Dinas Powys  or in Caerffili/ Senghenydd. The Caerffilli meeting could take place at the Big Cheese Festival >

Four Working parties need to be set up and then work with each other to organise a national conference asap. In this way much may be fast tracked and really shift this whole Initiative along before it is too late, so lets see some action on this.
