Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
The notice does not list specific exclusions, but the tight winter deadline and the combined scope of supplying, installing and commissioning around 20 pods plus support facilities would likely rule out a small business without its own manufacturing or installation capacity.
