Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

This role requires professional surveying qualifications (typically RICS membership) and substantial commercial or quantity surveying experience, which will exclude most small trades people without formal surveying training or degree-level education.

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.
