In plain English

Nottingham City Council wants a scaffolding contractor on a four-year contract worth about £3.25 million excluding VAT. The contract covers putting up, taking down, changing and inspecting scaffolding on Council buildings, and the council can use it on an ongoing basis.

What the buyer wants

• Erect, dismantle, alter, inspect and supervise scaffolding on Council buildings • Provide related services, including design, inspections, and risk and method statements • Register on Source East Midlands to submit a tender, and work within the NEC4 contract terms in the tender pack

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice only asks for tenderers that are "suitably experienced and qualified" and does not state financial or insurance thresholds, but the £3.25 million, four-year scale and the broad scope of design and inspection work mean most very small firms would struggle to show the track record and capacity needed.

Always check the tender documents.

How to bid
