Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
You must hold Enhanced DBS clearance (criminal record check for working with children): this typically takes 4-8 weeks and disqualifies those with relevant convictions. You also need £6m+ Employer's Liability Insurance, which small one-person operations often cannot obtain at affordable rates.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
