Sets up a framework (suppliers apply to join)

In plain English

Nottingham City Council wants to set up a framework, which is a pre-approved list of contractors, to carry out traffic signal work on its roads. Up to three contractors will be appointed, and the framework could run for up to four years with an estimated total value of £2 million (excluding VAT).

What the buyer wants

• Show you have the experience, qualifications and equipment to install, maintain and repair traffic signals safely on public roads. • Complete the tender through Source East Midlands, which requires registering on the portal before you can bid. • Meet the detailed requirements in the Contract Specification, which sets out the standards and the work the council expects.

Likely requirements

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

Without documented experience of traffic signal work on public highways and the relevant electrical and safety accreditations, most small businesses would struggle to pass the initial suitability checks.

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.
