    Hi
    To me this is a tender directed towards Electrical consultants and if you tackle it you will need PI insurance which you may not get as an electrical contractor.I say that not knowing the size or qualifications of your employees.

    Walk away and tackle work that falls within your capabilities.
    Reading between the lines I get the impression that you have not tackled that size contract - They will kill you with paperwork , cash flow and then the penalties will start and your business will be gone.
