How to Read This Tender
- 1Look for the 'Specification' or 'Technical Requirements' section in full documents — this will tell you the exact brand, size, and quality of basins, mirrors, and lights required (don't assume you can choose budget options).
- 2Find out how many student rooms are involved — the brief says 'all Student Rooms' but doesn't give a number; this directly affects your quote and labour time, so clarify this immediately.
- 3Check what 'dri-lining works' specifically means for this building — this is specialist damp-proofing that requires particular materials and techniques; get the full specification before bidding.
- 4Look for the site access schedule — you'll need to know when you can work (term-time restrictions are common in student halls) and whether rooms must be vacated or students remain during works.
- 5Find the completion timeline — student accommodation often has tight turnarounds between term dates, which affects your labour scheduling and costs.
Tips for Small Businesses
- Consider subcontracting the dri-lining work if it's specialist — you may not do this in-house, and councils often accept subcontractor CVs; this lets you bid without hiring expensive damp specialists.
- Check if social value points are available — councils often score on local employment or apprenticeships; if you're Middlesbrough-based or willing to hire locally, highlight this to improve your bid score.
- Request a site visit before submitting your quote — student halls have varied layouts and existing conditions; what looks straightforward from a description often has hidden complications (pipe runs, structural issues) that will hit your margin if you don't inspect first.
