Likely requirements

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

This is a £15 million framework requiring significant manufacturing, warehousing, logistics and platform development capability. Most small trade businesses lack the scale, stock holding capacity, regulatory approvals (WRAS, Regulation 31), IT platform development skills and supply chain infrastructure needed. This is for large-scale product suppliers and logistics providers, not individual tradespeople.

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.
