Likely requirements

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

This is a framework agreement with no guaranteed work: you can only bid if you can afford to be on the framework without guaranteed income, since contracts are only 'awarded' on an annual basis subject to grant funding from Welsh Government being confirmed. Most small training providers cannot absorb this uncertainty.

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.
