The online tender process is fully documented electronically, and the audit history can be scrutinised.
You must:
- read all the information to ensure you meet all the requirements before filling in your response
- make a note of key deadlines
- use the online messaging facility if you have any queries about the process or our documents
- ensure your response is submitted in on time - late responses are rarely accepted unless a technical fault can be evidenced

- fill in the documents online - save them first
- alter any part of our original tender invitation documents including our pricing schedules
- include standard publicity or marketing material in your response - unless we have asked you to do so
