Sets up a framework (suppliers apply to join)

In plain English

Southern Electric Power Distribution, the electricity network operator for southern England, wants to appoint a supplier to build, run and improve its website over a contract worth about £2.5 million. This notice is the first stage: suppliers must answer a pre-qualification questionnaire (PQQ) to be considered for the main tender.

What the buyer wants

• Develop and enhance the company's website • Provide ongoing support and maintenance so the site runs reliably • Optimise the site's performance and make improvements over the contract period

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

The notice gives no figures, but PQQs for utility contracts usually set minimum turnover, insurance and past-contract thresholds, and a small business without a track record of comparable website work may be screened out at this stage.

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.
