- Framework
- An agreement that sets terms for work the buyer may order later, often from several suppliers. The value shown usually covers the whole agreement, not one job.
- Open for bids / closing date
- You must submit by the closing date and time, normally through the buyer's own online portal. Late bids are normally refused.
- Clarification questions
- A deadline for asking the buyer questions about the tender. It is earlier than the closing date.
- Conditions of participation
- What the buyer asks suppliers to show before they can be considered, such as experience, insurance or accreditations.
- Bids are scored on
- How the buyer will compare bids, usually a split between price and quality. A 60/40 split in favour of quality means the cheapest bid will not necessarily win.
- Lots
- A tender can be split into parts. You can often bid for only the lots that suit you.
- Area (ITL)
- The buyer names an official statistical area for where the work is, not a street address. Check the tender documents for the actual sites.
- UK4 and other notice codes
- Official codes for the type of notice. A "tender notice" means bids are being invited.

Description
The London Fire Brigade are seeking an external reporting line, operated by an independent third -party provider, to provide staff with an additional route for reporting concerns relating to misconduct i.e. discrimination, bullying and harassment. The caveat to this is that the Professional Standards Unit (PSU) will continue to respond to complaints of misconduct i.e. discrimination, bullying and harassment, as business as usual – with the external reporting line service, being commissioned to report complaints of misconduct that relate to allegations against staff who work in the PSU; Directors and LFB Senior Leadership team members; where there is a perceived conflict of interest, or where the nature of the allegation is especially sensitive or complex i.e. includes various complainants/respondents/witnesses, and cannot be completed by the PSU on the grounds of capacity.
