How to Read This Tender
- 1Understand what a 'call-off' means: this is NOT an open tender. Only companies already on the PLACE089 framework can bid. Check if you're already registered—if not, you cannot bid on this specific contract.
- 2The 'mini competition' element means the buyer is inviting only framework members to compete on price and quality, not on whether they're capable. They already trust framework members to do the work.
- 3Look for the Technical Specifications or Schedules in the full documents—these will tell you exactly what surface type, thickness, and quality standard each road needs.
- 4Check the Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs) section—these control when and how you can close roads. Some sites may need weekend or night-time working, which affects your costs and programme.
- 5Find the Site Specific Information sheets for each of the six locations—road lengths, width, current condition, and any utilities (drains, cables) underneath are crucial for pricing accurately.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you're not on the PLACE089 framework yet, you cannot bid here, but you could apply to join it for future opportunities. Contact the framework holder (usually a highways consultant or local authority) to understand entry requirements.
- The six locations are spread across different towns. If you don't operate in all these areas, consider partnering with a local subcontractor or another framework member to handle sites outside your region—buyers often welcome consortiums if all parties are framework-qualified.
- Road resurfacing has tight margins. Get detailed site plans and do a thorough site visit before pricing. Hidden issues like poor foundations or unexpected utilities can turn a profitable job into a loss. The buyer's specifications should detail any known ground issues.
