In plain English

Wellington Town Council is looking for a contractor to set up a new allotment site from scratch. This includes clearing the land, building a car park, defining plot boundaries, installing gates and fencing, and mowing everything ready for tenants to take over. They are also offering optional add-ons like concrete shed bases, water connections, and the sheds themselves.

What the buyer wants

• Clear and prepare the site, set out allotment plots, and create grass pathways • Build a small car park with a compacted sub-base and gravel surface • Install timber post boundaries around plots, relocate the entrance gate, and add fencing between the car park and plots • Mow all plots and add plot numbers and site signage • Price optional extras separately: soil cultivation, concrete shed bases, surfaced pathways, supply and erect 35 sheds, mains water connection, and three water standpipes

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: This contract requires significant ground works, landscaping and construction experience including car park build and infrastructure installation: most cleaning or basic maintenance businesses will lack the heavy plant, expertise and insurance needed to bid competitively.
