Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This contract is completely inaccessible to most small businesses: the estimated value is £140 million, it requires advanced engineering capability, cybersecurity expertise, Critical National Infrastructure clearance, and multi-disciplinary teams. You would need to be an established electrical/automation engineering firm with significant experience, certifications, and resources to even be considered.
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.
