Likely requirements

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

The notice does not state specific technical or financial thresholds, but the equipment is highly specialised, so a small business without direct access to the manufacturer or an authorised distributor for this detector and its maintenance would most likely be ruled out.

How to bid

This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
