This tender opens significant business growth opportunities, particularly for firms with expertise in commercial property management, facilities management, and technology solutions for CAFM systems. It targets companies capable of handling multi-site operations, offering contract administration, and displaying exceptional quality management, which was heavily weighted in the tender's evaluation criteria at 60% quality and 40% price. SMEs specialised in these services, especially those able to enhance infrastructure performance and compliance, stand to benefit considerably from engaging with this procurement process.
