Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This contract is effectively closed to small businesses: it requires a development partner with substantial capital investment capability, proven large-scale regeneration experience, and financial robustness to lead a £90 million scheme over many years. Solo traders, micro-businesses, and most SMEs cannot compete.
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.
