The purpose of this Prior Information Notice (PIN) is to alert potential suppliers to an opportunity in relation to the Local Authorities’ requirements for the civil engineering and construction works for a regional wood reprocessing facility at our Silent Valley waste management site near Ebbw Vale in Blaenau Gwent. 2. The project scope will comprise construction works and services, including design and other services that are required to develop the concept design and construct the facility. The specific works and services that may be procured under the contract have not been fully defined at this stage. 3. The partnership and its advisors plan to procure the civil engineering and building works (incorporating an 80m x 20m steel framed processing hall, compliant with all fire and operating permit regulations for waste wood reprocessing plants).
