Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
Most small independent tradespeople will struggle because this requires proven experience maintaining electronic door entry systems across multiple large housing schemes simultaneously, likely demands 24/7 callout capability or SLA response times, and the contract value suggests the council wants an established firm with multiple teams and systems management capability.
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.
