Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
Unless you manufacture or hold distribution agreements for medical-grade identification hardware, printers and RFID systems, and can obtain ISO 9001:2015 accreditation plus £5m product liability insurance, this contract is not realistic for a small business. The £40-50m spend is a framework serving the entire NHS, not multiple small suppliers.
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.
