In plain English
NHS Blood and Transplant wants to appoint a radiation protection adviser for its work. The notice describes a framework agreement, which is a pre-approved list of suppliers that the organisation can call on over time, with an estimated value of £433,382.
What the buyer wants
• Be one of up to two suppliers appointed to the framework, either as the Primary Supplier (highest-ranked) or the Contingency Supplier (second-ranked) • Score highest or second-highest among compliant tenderers after evaluation • Provide the radiation protection advisory service over the four-year framework period, with no guaranteed volume, value or spend
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice does not list specific qualifications or certifications, but the framework has room for only two suppliers, is awarded on ranking against other bidders, and guarantees no work, so a small business could be pushed out by stronger competitors or left with little or no income.
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.
Where to apply
The notice doesn't say where to apply. NHS Blood and Transplant uses Atamis for its other tenders, so start there: make a free account, then search for this tender's title.
