What the buyer wants

• Supply downhole geophysical equipment for the British Geological Survey's hydrogeological investigations • Meet the equipment specification set out in the full tender documents (the notice itself does not list the detailed requirements)

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice sets out no explicit eligibility criteria, but the specialist nature of downhole geophysical equipment and the £400,000 value suggest it would mainly suit established equipment manufacturers or specialist suppliers rather than general small businesses.

Always check the tender documents.
