Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 6 bids per contract for this buyer (from 21 awards in the last 12 months).

Dynamic purchasing system

Suppliers join a list the buyer can call on. You can usually apply at any time while it is open, and work is awarded later through smaller competitions between members.

What the notice says

Medway Council is funded to deliver holiday activities and food provision over Easter, summer and Christmas school holidays every year. The provision will deliver physical and enriching activities, hot and nutritious meals at each session and links to support services to help children and families with health, wellbeing and financial support. The tender has been split into three distinct service areas, which in turn form three lots. Bidders can bid for one or more lots as outlined within the specification. Once the DPS is active, live requirements will be associated to one of the three subsequent lots and all eligible DPS members within the respective lot will be sent the mini-competition documents. As with all DPSs, there will be no cap on the maximum number of eligible members under the DPS.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
