Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
Most small one-person or two-person trades will struggle because this is a large-scale specialist operation requiring significant machinery, teams of qualified operators, insurance for heavy equipment, and ongoing availability across an entire region. The £10 million budget suggests multiple concurrent contracts, not one small job.
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.
