Is your business ready to start competing for larger contracts?

Complete this short Tender Readiness Assessment to see whether your business has the core information, evidence and documentation usually needed before you can begin competing for larger contracts, major buyers and Tier 1 supply chain opportunities.

Designed as a practical starting point, the assessment is built around real procurement evaluation criteria and aligned with the standards expected by major contractors and public-sector procurement teams. It will help you identify the gaps that commonly prevent businesses from progressing towards larger contracts and provide clear, practical actions to address them.

You will be asked a number of questions about your organisation, including a short description of your business and the services you provide, as well as your key documentation, HR processes, financial readiness and approach to social value.

Many larger buyers and supply chains expect suppliers to demonstrate capability, compliance and evidence before they can be considered for opportunities. This assessment helps you check whether you have the foundations in place.

Supply chains are already forming, and businesses that prepare early will be better placed when opportunities go live. The first opportunities are expected to come through the construction supply chain, but preparing now will also support businesses looking to access wider development, operational and service contracts as they emerge.
