In plain English

Worcestershire County Council wants one supplier to provide gates, access structures, fittings and replacement parts for its public footpaths and bridleways across the county, estimated at £350,000. The gates must meet the British Standard BS 5709:2018, which covers gates and stiles for public rights of way. The supplier would also back the products with warranties, technical information and a steady supply of spare parts.

What the buyer wants

• Supply PRoW gates, access structures, fittings and replacement components that comply with BS 5709:2018 • Provide technical information and warranty support for the products supplied • Guarantee ongoing availability of spare parts so the council can maintain and replace access infrastructure across the county

Likely requirements

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

Most small businesses would be disqualified by the need to supply a full, certified range of BS 5709 gates and fittings and guarantee long-term spare parts across the whole county under a single-supplier arrangement, which typically requires manufacturing or large distribution capacity.
