Sets up a framework (suppliers apply to join)

In plain English

Falkirk Council wants to appoint engineering consultants to provide flood and drainage design, advice and professional services over 2027 to 2031. The work is worth about £1.4 million and will be ordered as individual pieces of work as the council needs them.

What the buyer wants

• Engineering and professional services for flood risk and drainage projects, such as design, surveys, assessments and advice • Consultancy staff with relevant flood and drainage experience who can take on work as it is ordered over the four-year period • Responsive delivery of individual call-off tasks, with quality, cost and programme managed under the framework terms

Likely requirements

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

Most small businesses would be disqualified by not already being on the framework, which is required for call-off work, and by not having the professional indemnity insurance, chartered staff and proven flood and drainage track record the council will expect.

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.
