How to Read This Tender

- 2Check any "Mandatory Criteria" or "Eligibility" tables – they often hide essential certifications (e.g., ISO 9001, health & safety)
- 3Look for the contract length, service level targets (response times, uptime) and any penalties for non‑performance
- 4Identify the submission deadline and required format (e‑mail, portal upload) – late or incorrectly formatted bids are rejected
Tips for Small Businesses

- Emphasise social value (e.g., local employment, training apprentices) as many UK councils award extra points for community impact
