Can I win this?

What the notice says

Treaty Reinsurance Framework intended to employ the services of a broker for the purpose of placing treaties of reinsurance relating to Export Credit Agency activities. We intend to award this framework to a single reinsurance broker who will then place treaties of reinsurance on behalf of UK Export Finance. Please note, this is a separate requirement to that of UKEF's Credit Political Risk - Broker Contract requirement, which is facultative reinsurance focused. Whilst the total value has not been determined yet and no guarantees of spend will be entered in to, UKEF anticipate total spend in excess of £5million over 5 years. All details relating to spend, competition documentation and contract start/end dates are subject to change and details of exact eligibility criteria will be defined within competition documentation.
