Likely requirements

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

This contract is almost certainly too large and specialist for typical small tradespeople. You will need proven experience inspecting RHI installations, knowledge of the specific closure regulations, and the operational capacity to manage a large-scale inspection programme across Northern Ireland, which few small businesses possess.
