Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice does not list specific eligibility criteria, but the very large total value of £9,702,000 across six lots for disabled children with complex needs is likely to favour larger providers, so a small business would need to check the full tender documents to see whether individual lots can be bid for separately.
Always check the tender documents.

This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
