Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This contract requires significant technical infrastructure expertise (AWS cloud management, hosting, third-line support) and ongoing development capacity that most sole traders or very small teams cannot deliver. You would need a team of senior developers, cloud architects and support staff, making this unsuitable for freelancers or single-person operations.
