How to Read This Tender
- 1Check the tender documents for any mandatory assessor registration (e.g., EPC assessor licence) even if not listed in the short description.
- 2Note the strict time‑frames – 2‑day response/appointment and 5‑day lodgement – and plan how you will meet them before bidding.
- 3Look for details on the volume of properties and geographic spread; this will affect travel costs and resource planning.
- 4Confirm whether RBH expects you to use their own key‑handling service or if you need to provide a secure key‑management process.
- 5Watch out for any penalties or performance metrics related to missed deadlines; these are often in the full terms.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you cannot cover the whole postcode area alone, consider partnering with a local assessor to share travel time and costs.
- Highlight any social value you bring (e.g., employing local staff, offering apprenticeships) – many public contracts award extra points for this.
- Prepare a clear schedule showing how you will meet the 2‑day and 5‑day deadlines; this demonstrates capability and can offset a smaller company size.
