Has anyone done bidding on gov tenders directly?
I'd like to know how flexible are they to small scale companies?

They are quite flexible.
However, you will spend a LOT of time going round the houses with the tender process. For that reason I have almost always ended up not finishing the process.See You Next TuesdayComment

Depends on how you apply. Get on the DOS framework (DOS4 is now closed so you'll have to wait until DOS5 opens) and one man bands are fineOriginally posted by Stevie Wonder BoyComment

The tender process tends to be the stumbling block always a complete pain and full of unnecessary crud relevant only to bugger companies. Unless your customer knows you they won't normally take a risk on you and government types are very conservative when it comes to choosing a supplier. I've done loads of work for mostly local government but only got that work through recommendation never via open tender even though I've put in numerous bids
