Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 10 bids per contract for this buyer (from 37 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 £200,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

Procurement Services are looking to create a local and national framework for the provision of Signs and Associated Services.

Your response will help us design a framework that meets the needs of suppliers and customers to improve the procurement and delivery experience for Sign and Associated Services across all areas within the public sector. Scope and Lot structure is still to be determined but the aim is to design a framework for the provision of Signs and Associated Services required within the public sector. This is a Pre Market Engagement notice and not a call for competition.
