Likely requirements

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

This contract will disqualify most small general builders and tradespeople unless they have specialist ecology qualifications and protected species survey licenses. You need university-level environmental science/ecology credentials and specific government licenses to do most of this work.

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.
