Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This contract will almost certainly disqualify small businesses: the estimated contract value is £105 million over several years, suppliers must be able to design and manufacture complex high-voltage electrical equipment to international standards, hold significant technical certifications, maintain testing facilities, and commit to framework terms with no guaranteed minimum volumes. Only large electrical manufacturers with established supply chains and accreditations need apply.
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.
