Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This contract is almost certainly closed to small businesses: the £400 million estimated value, requirement for 100% renewable supply across multiple government sites, and collaborative framework structure means only large energy suppliers with national infrastructure, proven track record on major contracts, and significant capital resources will be considered eligible.
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.
