In plain English
The Forestry Commission wants a contractor to replace the roof at Sleights House in Westonbirt Arboretum, fix the garage flat roof, and install solar panels on the building. The work needs to make the roof weatherproof, durable and add renewable energy to the site.
What the buyer wants
• Replace all roof coverings, gutters, fascias, soffits and barge boards on the main pitched roof and garage flat roof • Repair or replace any damaged roof structure found during the work • Design, supply, install, test and commission roof-mounted solar PV (photovoltaic) systems including all electrical and structural work needed for full operation
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This contract is openly advertised and appears SME-friendly, but you will need proven experience in both roofing and solar PV installation plus relevant accreditations (MCS for solar, NICEIC or similar for electrics), which many small one-person operations will not hold.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
