How to Read This Tender
- 1DPS stands for 'Dynamic Purchasing System' — this means it's a pre-approved list of suppliers. Check if you can join the DPS or if you're bidding for individual work orders from it.
- 2Look in the full tender documents for the 'scope of work' section, which will specify exact locations, tree types, and frequency of pruning required.
- 3Highway work requires traffic management plans — check whether the buyer will organize this or if you must provide it as part of your quote.
- 4Check for any framework agreement terms — some DPS contracts require you to accept work orders at the prices you've quoted.
- 5Safety is critical: look for references to 'method statements' and 'risk assessments' — you'll need to submit detailed plans for how you'll work safely near traffic.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you don't have arboricultural staff, consider partnering with a qualified tree surgeon or grounds maintenance firm as a subcontractor — this is very common in highway work.
- Small businesses often win these contracts by emphasizing local knowledge and responsiveness. Highlight your ability to mobilize quickly for emergency storm damage or seasonal work.
- Check the social value scoring criteria — councils often award points for local employment, apprenticeships, or community benefits. Including one of these in your bid can help you compete against larger firms.
