In plain English
New College Lanarkshire wants to hire contractors to maintain the grounds and to grit paths and car parks in winter at its four campuses in Coatbridge, Cumbernauld, Kirkintilloch and Motherwell. The work is split into two separate lots, and the notice asks for a single contractor for each lot, with an estimated total value of £240,000.
What the buyer wants
• Lot 2: grounds maintenance services at all four named campuses, delivered by a single contractor • Lot 1: winter gritting services at all four named campuses, delivered by a single contractor • The notice gives no further detail on the specific tasks, frequencies or standards required
Lots
- Grounds Maintenance Services
- Winter Gritting Services
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice says bidders can be excluded if they fall under the exclusion grounds in two named Scottish procurement regulations, which it does not spell out, and because each lot needs one contractor covering all four campuses, smaller firms may struggle to meet the scope on their own.
Always check the tender documents.
