Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This contract requires specialist lift engineering expertise and likely significant insurance cover. Most small trades people without formal lift engineering qualifications and manufacturer approvals will not meet the technical and safety requirements. The three-lot structure also means you may need capacity to cover multiple geographic areas simultaneously.
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.
