Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This contract is for social and employment support services. It will likely disqualify businesses without direct experience in job coaching, training, or welfare-to-work programmes. Small one-person trades (cleaners, electricians, plumbers) will not be suitable unless they partner with specialist employment support providers.
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.
