Before considering a bid, verify the current official tender notice and every amendment, confirm the actual work site and site-visit requirements, assess capacity for ESS and perimeter-security integration, review insurance, warranty, maintenance, response-time, removal, and restoration obligations, and confirm that all mandatory submission requirements can be met.
