AI Analysis
Powered by AI — always verify against official documents
This is a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) framework called 'Winter Pollard' — a pre-approved supplier list for winter maintenance services. Suppliers who join can bid on individual winter work orders as they arise, rather than competing for one large contract.
Requirements
- No specific requirements listed in the notice — check the full tender documents.
- Likely to require: winter maintenance/gritting experience, appropriate insurance, health & safety compliance, and ability to respond quickly to weather events
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- No specific tasks detailed in this notice — this is a framework agreement notice.
- Actual work will be assigned via call-offs (mini-competitions or direct awards) after you're on the DPS
- Tasks are likely to include: gritting roads, clearing snow, treating surfaces, emergency winter response
How to Read This Tender
- 1A DPS is not a single contract — it's a 'standing list' of approved suppliers. Once you qualify, the buyer will ask you to bid on individual jobs as winter weather hits.
- 2Read the 'Call-Off Procedure' section carefully: understand whether each job uses open competition (you compete every time) or direct award (they can pick you without asking others).
- 3Look for the contract period and renewal dates — winter DPS agreements typically run 1-3 years.
- 4Check the 'Estimated Value' or 'Call-Off Spend Range' to understand the scale of work available.
- 5Pay attention to response times — winter services often require 24-48 hour mobilisation.
Tips for Small Businesses
- Joining a DPS is lower-risk than winning a single large contract — you can start small and grow as work comes in. Assess whether your team can handle variable, weather-dependent workload.
- Winter gritting is competitive and labour-intensive. Consider partnering with other small businesses (consortium) to cover multiple areas or share equipment costs.
- Social value scoring matters: emphasize local employment, apprenticeships, or community resilience benefits in your bid.
