Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice sets out no specific qualification, experience or certification requirements, so nothing in it on its own rules out a small firm, but the framework is shared among only up to five providers, so places are likely to be competitive.

Always check the tender documents.

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.
