How to Read This Tender
- 1This is a 'Further Competition' — it means Habinteg is running a mini-tender through an existing approved supplier list (the DPS). You must already be on the Procure Public Supporting Facilities Management DPS to bid; if you're not, you may miss this opportunity.
- 2Look carefully at the scope of work in the full documents — grounds maintenance can mean anything from basic grass cutting to managing tree work, and costs vary wildly. Check what's actually included.
- 3Three separate locations (Bristol, Swindon, Newbury) could mean you need transport, staff, or subcontractors in each area — factor this into your bid pricing and logistics.
- 4Check the specification for frequency of visits — is it weekly grass cutting, monthly, seasonal? This dramatically affects your quote.
- 5Look for service level agreements (SLAs) in the documents — these set response times and quality standards you must meet.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you're not on the Procure Public DPS, you could partner with an existing DPS member as a subcontractor for this work — this lets you access the contract without the administrative burden of joining the framework yourself.
- Grounds maintenance is often scored heavily on price and local delivery capability. Highlight any existing experience in these three towns and efficient scheduling that keeps travel costs down.
- Consider whether you can handle all three locations or if you'd need to subcontract parts of it. Be realistic in your bid — overcommitting and failing to deliver damages your reputation.
