Question:
Hi there,

The request for tender document schedule 3 Financial Capacity asks for last three financial years of trading but notes 2019-2022.

Is it the case that these are the years you are requesting or has the form simply not been updated and you would like the most recent 3 years?

Thank you

Hi,

Please note that a Financial Report for the last 3 financial years will be from Financial Year ending 2022, 2023 and 2024. If you have been in business for more than 3 or more years, If you started business this year then you will not have one, a letter from your Accountant declaring your financial capability will suffice.

Question:
1. It is specified for the main bathroom to be PWD accessible however in the bathroom spec it refers to a back to wall toilet suit with soft close seat – does this need to be fully compliant with AS1428.1 – i.e. blue single flap seat, back rest and grab rails – raised flushing buttons etc?

2. The same applies to the vanity – for this to comply with AS1428.1 it is not possible to include drawers below the vanity top.

3. The shower is noted as requiring a glass fixed glass screen however this generally doesn’t either work with circulation spaces in a AS1428.1 compliant bathroom as the whole floor is graded to the shower waste and a screen impedes the flow of water.

Please confirm your preferences on the above items.

4. In the 3 bedroom home, the PWD bathroom needs direct access from Bedroom 2 - can you please confirm if this also needs a second access into the bathroom as this will create issues with wheelchair circulation space etc. if a second access is required, does this also need to be AS1428.1 compliant or only the access from Bedroom 2?
