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

This is a Connected Business Platforms (CBP) requirement for the Stage 1 Expression of Interest (EOI). It is intended to provide sufficient context for suppliers to demonstrate relevant capability and experience against the published EOI evaluation criteria. It is not the full Statement of Requirements, a final technical specification, or a request for a detailed implementation solution. The Authority’s detailed requirements, architecture material, Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM), non-functional requirements, implementation assumptions and commercial schedules will be provided or refined at the appropriate later stage. CBP is a phased business and technology transformation intended to modernise UKHO customer-facing, integration and enterprise capabilities while maintaining continuity of critical services. The programme will progressively replace or reduce dependency on legacy platforms and interfaces, establish modern integration capability, and introduce Oracle-based commerce services while creating a foundation for future enterprise transformation. At EOI, the Authority assesses supplier capability and relevant evidence. The final technical solution, detailed Phase 1 implementation plan, final delivery timetable, and final price / affordability are not evaluated at this stage.
