CIF Success

So it's just been announced and I'm not surprised that neither of our bids were successful this year - I think the RAAC would have made it more unlikely.

Who has got a nice pot of money coming their way?

Re: CIF Success

Another year and another blank.

Looks like fire safety was high on the priorities this year.

Re: CIF Success

we drew a blank this year.
I guess we will have to keep our really old oil boilers going and hope nothing happens like last year..

I think the deadline is around December but we use a bidding company to place our bids as the system and how the documentation is presented is very unforgiving.
We have successfully used a company called E3cubed.

Deadline to submit bids was I believe 12th December last year , we would normally be looking now at future CIF bids in readiness for putting the bid together.

Re: CIF Success

We were successful in one of three bids this year, 2 years ago we were lucky to get five of the seven we submitted.

Re: CIF Success

Our bidding process is SCA instead of CIF, I'm in my sixth year here, and this is the first knock back so I can't complain. RAAC and fire seems to have everyone a bit windy this time around.

If it’s SCA then it’s your own MAT distributing isn’t it?
