Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

This contract is for specialist accommodation and support services for vulnerable young people: most small trades (builders, electricians, cleaners) will not qualify unless they are already registered care providers or social enterprises with experience in youth homelessness and child safeguarding. You cannot win this by simply offering to clean or maintain a property.

How to bid

This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
