If you are a new start-up company and cannot provide at least one example of previous contracts that are relevant to the requirement, in no more than 500 words please provide an explanation for this and how you meet the conditions of participation relating to technical ability. NB a 'new start up company' is defined only as a company that has been trading less than 12 months at the point of tender submission, and/or is unable to provide the minimum number of contract references requested due to limited trading history The submission of alternative evidence does not guarantee acceptance.
