Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
Most sole traders and very small training providers will struggle unless they hold formal accreditation to deliver regulated qualifications (Ofsted-registered or approved by a recognised awarding body). You will also need DBS clearance, robust safeguarding policies, and proven learner outcome data.
How to bid
This is a Dynamic Purchasing System: an open list of approved suppliers. You can apply to join at any time while it runs, and once accepted you can bid for the individual contracts the buyer runs through it.
