How to Read This Tender
- 1This is a compliance inspection contract, not installation work — the buyer wants proof their equipment is safe and legal. Focus your bid on your inspection credentials and track record, not on fixing equipment.
- 2The evaluation is weighted heavily toward cost (60%) rather than quality (40%) — price your bid competitively but don't underbid so much you can't deliver quality inspections.
- 3Three separate regulatory frameworks (PER, PSSR, LOLER) are mentioned — you must be competent in all three. Check the full Bravo tender documents to see if they're bundled or separate inspections.
- 4The deadline is strict: 8 July 2026, midday — late submissions are automatically rejected. Build in buffer time for uploading to the Bravo portal; portal uploads often fail near deadline.
- 5All tender communication must go through the Bravo messaging portal — don't email the health board directly. Register and check your messages regularly for clarifications or scoring questions.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you're a solo competent person, consider this a straightforward bid — health boards often prefer working with smaller, specialist inspectors over large contractors. Emphasize your turnaround times and local knowledge of NHS facilities.
- Pressure and lifting equipment inspections are often recurring annual contracts — in your bid, flag your availability for future inspections and offer a maintenance schedule to strengthen your proposal.
- Check whether PTHB wants all three inspections (PER, PSSR, LOLER) done together or if they're separate line items — if separate, you might subcontract one area to a partner while leading on your strongest certification, allowing you to bid on the full scope.
