Sets up a framework (suppliers apply to join)

In plain English

Tayside Contracts is buying surface dressing chips, the small stones used in road maintenance where a layer of chippings and binder is applied to seal and extend the life of a road surface. The estimated value is £500,000, and the chips will be used on annual road programmes for Angus Council, Dundee City Council, Perth & Kinross Council and other external clients.

What the buyer wants

• Supply surface dressing chips reliably, responsively and cost-effectively • Support the annual road maintenance and surface dressing programmes for Angus Council, Dundee City Council, Perth & Kinross Council and other external clients • Show suitable experience of supplying this type of material

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice asks for suitably experienced suppliers able to provide a reliable and responsive supply across several councils, so a small business without a track record of supplying road materials at this scale would most likely be ruled out; it does not state any other specific requirement.

Always check the tender documents.

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.
