What the buyer wants
• Carry out reactive repairs to groundworks and landscaping on council buildings, schools, parks and land when reported • Provide an emergency response service that can attend urgent call-outs outside normal working hours • Complete minor replacement works, such as fencing, paths, surfaces or planting, to the council's standards
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
The requirement to provide a reliable emergency response across the whole borough, backed by proven council references and higher levels of insurance, will likely rule out very small firms without a standby team.
