Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
The contract value is fixed at £8.49 million over 8 years, which means you must be able to handle a large, sustained programme of work across multiple properties; sole traders or very small teams without workforce capacity will struggle to win or deliver this.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
