Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

You would need your own equipment, insurance and transport. Most small sole traders without established groundscare experience and public liability insurance would struggle to meet the council's requirements.

How to bid

This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
