Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
Most small one-person operators will struggle with this contract because it covers multiple dispersed locations and requires regular weekly or fortnightly visits over 3 years, which demands consistent staffing, reliable equipment, and the capacity to manage multiple sites. The estimated value of £28,000 over 3 years works out to approximately £9,300 per year, which may not be viable for a business with significant overheads.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
