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

This contract requires specialist medical/clinical qualifications (Best Interest Assessor accreditation and/or Section 12 Doctor status), if you don't have these specific credentials or access to qualified professionals, you cannot bid.

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.
