- 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
Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust is undertaking early market engagement in relation to the potential future delivery of Protective Security Services across the Trust.
The purpose of this exercise is to understand the current market, available service delivery models, supplier capability and indicative costs. Information received will be used to inform the development of a business case and the Trust's consideration of future service delivery options.
This exercise is not a call for competition, tender or commitment to procure. Participation will not provide any advantage or disadvantage in any future procurement process. Any future procurement would be undertaken separately in accordance with the Trust's applicable procurement obligations.
At this stage, the Trust is particularly interested in obtaining indicative market costs for delivering a comprehensive, resilient 24/7 security service within an acute healthcare environment.
