In plain English

South Kesteven District Council wants a contractor to repair the retaining wall at ScotGate, with an estimated value of £195,000. The work includes building two new gabion (rock-filled wire basket) wall sections and partly rebuilding existing stone buttress walls.

What the buyer wants

• Build two rock-filled gabion retaining wall sections, including ground polymer injection, concrete foundations, backfill and perforated pipe drainage • Partially rebuild and reinstate the existing stonework buttress walls using hydraulic lime mortar • Reinstate any hard standings damaged by the works, and clear away all litter, debris and rubbish from the contract period on completion

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice does not state any qualification or experience requirements, but the specialist techniques named (ground polymer injection and hydraulic lime mortar stonework) and the £195,000 value mean a small business without retaining wall and heritage stonework experience would likely be ruled out.

Always check the tender documents.
