"description": "Clarification of Scope of Works - Marl Pits Leisure Centre Decarbonisation Project\nThe Council would like to clarify the scope of works for the decarbonisation project.\nPlease note that the lighting replacement works (internal and external) referenced within the tender documentation are not part of this contract. These works are being delivered through a separate arrangement and should not be included within tender submissions.\nIn addition, works relating to the temporary ramp over the back of the football pitches have already been completed and are therefore not part of the tendered scope.\nThis clarification supersedes any conflicting wording, drawings, descriptions, schedules or quantities contained anywhere within the ITT or technical documents (including Folder T1). All bidders must exclude the lighting works and temporary ramp works from their submissions.\nBidders should ensure that these elements are excluded from their pricing submissions. All other elements of the tender documentation remain unchanged.\nTenderers are advised that if they have already submitted their tender returns, the elements identified above will be excluded from the Council\u0027s evaluation of tenders. Tenderers may submit a revised tender submission before the deadline to reflect this clarification if they wish. Where a tenderer submits an updated tender before the submission deadline, the Council will only consider the most recent tender submission received.",
