Can I win this?

Competition

Usually low: a median of 2 bids per contract for this buyer (from 61 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 £3,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

The Tees Valley Combined Authority seeks to engage the market through this Pre-Tender Market Engagement (PTME) exercise in preparation for the potential procurement of a bus shelter supply and fit framework covering various areas of the Tees Valley region. Collaboration with the supply chain is central to our approach to delivering an enhanced customer experience for those travelling by bus.
