The deadline for responding to this Invitation to Tender (ITT) is before 12:00 (noon) on 30 September 2026. Submissions including uploading of all Procurement Documentation must be completed before 12 (noon). See 'Procurement Timetable' and 'How to respond to this opportunity'. Any Tender received on or after 12 noon will not be accepted. Tenders must be submitted electronically via the Open system (www.open-uk.org) within Questionnaire(s) via the Answer Summary section. Submissions received through any other means may be rejected. Please ensure you allow sufficient time to upload your Tender submission and all documents relevant to your submission. Please consider the fact that larger files will take longer to upload; you should therefore ensure that you leave enough time to complete your submission. Documents must be compatible with Microsoft Office or Adobe/PDF.
Submission happens on the buyer's own portal, which needs an account with them. We never handle your portal credentials.
