Sets up a framework (suppliers apply to join)

In plain English

The Forestry Commission wants to set up a framework agreement, a pre-approved list of suppliers, for visitor counters, the devices that count people entering forest sites. The framework covers supplying, installing, maintaining and possibly removing the counters across six forest districts, with a total value of about £100,000.

What the buyer wants

• Supply and install visitor counters across six forest districts: North, South, East, West, Central, Yorkshire, and Westonbirt The National Arboretum • Provide ongoing maintenance of the installed counters • Possibly remove counters when they are no longer needed

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

The notice sets no specific accreditations or experience thresholds, but a supplier would need to show it can install and maintain equipment across six geographically spread forest sites, which may be hard for a very small firm without a multi-site service network.

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.
