In plain English
Cardiff University wants to appoint one contractor through a framework agreement to inspect all roof and internal access equipment across its academic and residential sites for safety and compliance. The contractor would then rate each item, price the repairs and carry out the remedial work, with roughly 78% of the value in works and 22% in surveys. Year one work depends on budget, so the volume is not guaranteed.
What the buyer wants
• Survey all internal and external roof and access equipment for structural integrity and compliance across the estate • Provide full reports rating each asset, with a remedial scope of works, costings and timeframes • Carry out remedial works as agreed, subject to available budget in the first year
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
A single-supplier framework covering a whole university estate, with a large works element and a need for demonstrable working-at-height capability, insurance and financial standing, means most micro businesses could not realistically compete on their own.
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.
