Requirements

What could rule a small business out (our reading of the notice, written with AI): The notice does not list specific qualifications, but the combined scope of supplying, installing and commissioning specialist machinery, plus ongoing maintenance and support, at a value of £114,000 would likely rule out a small business that cannot deliver the full package or lacks experience with industrial equipment.

Always check the tender documents.
