Requirements
What could rule a small business out: This contract is almost certainly closed to small businesses: it requires supplying complex medical devices (which need regulatory approval and quality systems), the buyer is looking for a single Wales-wide supplier, and you must already manufacture or have exclusive distribution rights for these specialized airway products. Most small traders cannot compete here.
