VIVID (a housing association) needs contractors to provide emergency and routine roofing repairs and scaffolding services across their properties in both the North and South of England. This is an on-demand, reactive service — you'll be called out to fix roofs and provide scaffolding as problems arise, rather than a fixed project.
Requirements
- No specific requirements listed in the notice — check the full tender documents.
- Likely to require: roofing qualifications and certifications (NFRC or equivalent)
- Likely to require: public liability insurance (minimum typically £6-10 million)
- Likely to require: CSCS cards or equivalent for operatives working at height
- Likely to require: scaffolding certifications if providing scaffold services
- Likely to require: health and safety compliance and risk assessment capability
- Geographic coverage: ability to operate in North and South regions (or willingness to bid for one region)
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Respond to emergency roofing repair callouts within agreed timeframes
- Carry out routine and preventative roof repairs and maintenance
- Provide temporary and permanent scaffolding for roofing access and safety
- Complete repairs to VIVID's housing stock across North and South regions
- Provide inspections and diagnostic reports on roof condition
- Ensure all work meets building regulations and safety standards
How to Read This Tender
- 1This is a 'responsive' contract, not a project — VIVID will call you when repairs are needed. Look for the response time requirements (e.g., 'attend within 48 hours') in the full documents, as these are critical to winning.
- 2The description mentions both North and South regions separately. Check whether you can bid for one region only or must cover both — this affects your pricing and resource planning.
- 3Search the full tender documents for: call-out procedures, emergency protocols, pricing structure (is it fixed rates per job, hourly, or a retainer?), and expected call volume estimates.
- 4Watch for the 'framework' element — this may be a multi-year agreement with automatic renewal, so understand the contract term and pricing escalation clauses.
- 5Flag any requirements around tenant communication, access procedures, and working in occupied homes — housing associations take tenant satisfaction seriously.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you're small, consider partnering with a scaffolding company via subcontract rather than trying to do both services yourself — many winning bids split roofing and scaffolding between specialists.
- VIVID will likely score on social value (e.g., apprenticeships, local employment, training schemes). If you can offer to train a local apprentice roofer, highlight this strongly — it often scores 10-20% of final marks.
- Responsive contracts thrive on speed and reliability. If you can guarantee 24-hour emergency response or have depots in both North and South regions, emphasize this — responsiveness wins these bids over lowest price.
