Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This is a high-level specialist consulting panel, not a trade-based service. Most traditional tradespeople (builders, electricians, cleaners) will not be eligible because the work requires expert knowledge in governance, democracy, justice systems, or policy analysis. If you are a generalist contractor without specialist expertise in one of the eight named areas, you should not apply.
How to bid
This is a Dynamic Purchasing System: an open list of approved suppliers. You can apply to join at any time while it runs, and once accepted you can bid for the individual contracts the buyer runs through it.
