Requirements
What could rule a small business out: This contract requires you to employ and manage eight existing staff under TUPE transfer rules, including one employee with Local Government Pension Scheme membership at 18.4% employer contribution: if you cannot absorb these fixed pension liabilities and staff costs, you will struggle to bid competitively or may be unable to mobilise the service.
