Likely requirements

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

This is a consultancy framework requiring specialist expertise in higher education, research and digital transformation: a general tradesperson or small business without relevant consultancy credentials and sector experience will not be competitive.

How to bid

This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
