Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This contract is almost certainly limited to specialist organisations with deep expertise in lived experience recovery and peer-led health initiatives: most general small businesses, trades people and standard service providers would be ineligible unless they have significant prior experience running or supporting LEROs.
