The estimated value is £90,000, and the work covers both council areas. The contract runs for three years, with two possible one-year extensions.
What the buyer wants
• Emptying septic tanks across the areas of both councils • Carrying out other drainage maintenance work across the same areas • Delivering the services for an initial three years, with the option of two further 12-month extensions. Full requirements are in the tender documents.
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice does not state any specific qualifications, insurance or experience requirements, but it covers two council areas over a long term, so a small business without the capacity to serve both areas for the full period could be ruled out, and the detailed criteria are in the tender documents.
