A supplier WebEx Event will take place at 14:30 on 30 April for interested organisations to gain a better understanding of the TLIF scheme.

DfE will use an e-tendering system (REDIMO2- see above to register and take part in section 4) in this procurement exercise and reserves the right to use reverse auction. DfE considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of bidders will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement, and the contract will be awarded on the basis of the most economically advantageous tender. If the potential supplier bidding for the requirement is part of a consortium joint venture or special purpose vehicle (SPV), DfE will require full details of the consortium joint venture or SPV.
