Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This is a very large contract (£19.2m over 2 years) requiring significant capacity, multiple trade skills under one roof, and proven experience delivering major housing programmes to local authorities. Most sole traders and small businesses will struggle unless they partner with larger firms or specialist subcontractors. The contract requires coordinating multiple trades (electrical, plumbing, carpentry, plastering, roofing) simultaneously across many properties.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
