Newcastle Upon Tyne, the North East
Type
Sets up a framework (suppliers apply to join)

In plain English

Newcastle City Council wants to appoint two suppliers to repair machinery at its Sandhills Garden Waste and Composting Facility when equipment breaks down unexpectedly. The appointed firms will sit on a ranked Framework Agreement, which is a pre-approved list of suppliers the council can call on for repair work. The notice does not give a contract value.

What the buyer wants

• Carry out reactive breakdown repairs, meaning unplanned repairs when machinery fails • Provide these repairs to machinery at the Sandhills Garden Waste and Composting Facility • Be one of two ranked Framework Partners on the council's pre-approved supplier list

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice sets out no specific requirements, qualifications or certifications, but because only two Framework Partners will be appointed, a small business would be competing for just two places, and the unspecified value means the scale of work is unknown.

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.

Where to apply

The notice doesn't name a website for bids. Ask the buyer how to apply, using the contact on the official notice.
