Lots

Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This contract is worth £33 million and requires large-scale manufacturing, testing and distribution infrastructure across Scotland, so it will almost certainly only be accessible to established manufacturers or very large distributors, not small independent tradespeople or small installers.
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.
