File the insurance clarification before the window closes. The call stays yours.

Fit

Strong — matches your service design and user research capabilities. No framework membership required for this one.

Mandatory requirements and watch-outs

  • £5m public liability insurance needed at award
  • One reference from a comparable public body

Key dates

  • Clarifications close in 11 days
  • Submissions due in 25 days
  • Award expected about 6 weeks after the deadline

Stated uncertainty

The notice does not say whether the insurance certificate is required at submission or only at award. Treat it as needed before award; confirm in the clarification window.
