In brief

It is a framework worth up to £1 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 2 weeks, starting 5 May 2026.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 6 bids per contract for this buyer (from 50 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £1 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.
