Requirements

What could rule a small business out: This is a £13.8 million specialist framework requiring advanced scientific qualifications (PhD/MSc level), extensive nuclear or geotechnical project experience, and highly specialised software expertise; almost no small construction or trades businesses would be eligible. Most small businesses will lack the scientific credentials, security clearance, and specialist knowledge this contract demands.
