Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This contract is extremely specialist and requires proven experience in spaceport or aerospace operations; a standard small trades business without direct spaceport management experience will almost certainly be unable to bid competitively or meet the technical requirements.
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.
