How to Read This Tender
- 1This is an 'open tender' — meaning any eligible business can bid. You don't need to be pre-qualified, but you will need to prove your capability in your submission.
- 2The notice tells you the what and when, but not the detailed how — the full tender documents (available on Intend) will specify exactly which roads, sign designs, installation standards, traffic management requirements, and health & safety rules you must follow. Download and read those thoroughly before bidding.
- 3Note that the camera equipment is 'being procured separately' — this contract is only about the signs and physical installation work, not the camera systems themselves.
- 4Ask clarification questions by Wednesday 3rd June 2026 using the 'supplier correspondence function' on Intend. If you're unsure about anything, ask early — the Council will publish anonymised answers so other bidders benefit too.
- 5This is a public sector contract, so expect detailed specifications, formal contract terms, and likely requirements around traffic management, public safety, and working in a live urban environment.
Tips for Small Businesses
- Consider whether you have the traffic management and street-works experience in-house, or if you should partner with or subcontract to a specialist traffic management or street furniture company. Many councils expect professional traffic management certification (TTRO experience) for road-based work — the full tender will clarify this.
- This work involves multiple locations (5 roads + 26 roads) and likely requires site surveys, planning, and coordination with council teams. Build in time and resources for site visits and liaison before submitting your price — don't underestimate logistics and coordination costs.
- Check whether the tender scores you on 'social value' (e.g. local employment, community benefit, environmental impact). If it does, highlight how you'll deliver these — for example, employing local apprentices, using Birmingham-based supply chains, or reducing vehicle emissions through efficient routing.
