Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This is a framework contract with 25 separate lots: you cannot win the whole thing, only the specialist areas you qualify for. Most small trades will only be viable for 1-2 lots. You must prove experience delivering reactive maintenance for local authorities or similar large organisations, hold relevant insurance and accreditations, and be able to respond to urgent call-outs. The £3.8m total budget is spread across all lots over four years, so individual lot values will be much lower than that headline figure.
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.
