Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This is a grant application, not a service contract, so standard procurement rules are relaxed. However, you will likely be disqualified if your organisation is not registered as a charity, social enterprise, community interest company, or registered not-for-profit, or if your project does not clearly demonstrate how it reduces road traffic collision harm through education or community activity.
