Sets up a framework (suppliers apply to join)

In plain English

The UK Atomic Energy Authority wants to set up a framework agreement, which is a list of approved suppliers it can then order from, for CNC machines (computer-controlled machine tools used to cut and shape metal and other materials). The contract covers buying the machines and also installing, commissioning, repairing and maintaining them. The notice gives an estimated value of £1,500,000.

What the buyer wants

• Supply CNC machines • Install and commission the machines • Carry out repair and maintenance of the machines

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice does not set out eligibility criteria, so the detailed requirements would be in the Invitation to Tender, but the specialist machine-tool scope and the high framework value mean small firms without experience supplying and servicing industrial CNC equipment are the most likely to be ruled out.

Always check the tender documents.

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.
