problems. Please note large files should be uploaded as early as possible
to ensure transfer before deadline. If a Supplier is having problems

Suppliers should note that when asked to complete a tender document, the
document must be submitted in the file type in which it was issued (Word,
Excel etc.). Files of any alternative type may only be used where
documents are for attachment, rather than completion.
