In plain English

What the buyer wants
• Provide professional consultancy services in your specialism (architecture, structural engineering, M&E design, surveying, cost planning, project management, fire safety, or estates advice) across all project stages from initial brief through to completion • Meet all mandatory requirements set out in the detailed specification for your chosen lot • Deliver services in line with relevant professional standards (RIBA for architects, RICS for surveyors, etc.) • Be ready to be called off by public sector organisations who join this framework

Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
Most small sole traders and micro-businesses will struggle because each lot requires proven professional accreditation (RIBA, RICS, Chartered Engineer status, etc.), substantial professional indemnity insurance, and the ability to deliver complex consultancy across multiple RIBA project stages, which typically demands established practices with multiple qualified staff.
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.
