In plain English
Cheshire East Council is looking for a contractor to refurbish (repair and modernise) their refuse collection vehicles (bin lorries). This is a £1.1 million contract to overhaul these trucks so they can keep working on the council's waste collection service.
What the buyer wants
• Refurbish and repair refuse collection vehicles to bring them back into full working condition • Work must meet council specifications outlined in the tender documents • Likely to include mechanical work, structural repairs, and safety inspections
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: Most small independent tradespeople will be disqualified because this is a £1.1 million specialist vehicle refurbishment contract. It requires workshop facilities, heavy equipment, multiple skilled technicians, and the capacity to manage a large fleet project, which is beyond the scope of sole traders or very small teams.
Always check the tender documents.
