How to Read This Tender
- 1ALMO means this is a council-owned housing management company, not the council itself — check if you've worked with ALMOs or housing providers before as they have specific processes
- 2Ad-hoc means they'll call you out for inspections when needed, not on a fixed schedule — you need flexibility and quick response times in your bid
- 3Look for the detailed specification section in the full tender documents which will explain exactly what 'assurance inspection audit' means for them and what reports they expect
- 4Check the contract duration and payment terms carefully — find out if it's a fixed annual fee, per-visit charges, or a retainer; this affects your pricing strategy
- 5Flag any mention of insurance requirements, public liability, and professional indemnity — these are standard for inspection work but can be costly
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you don't hold all the required qualifications yourself, check if you can subcontract the actual inspections to a larger qualified firm while managing the contract — this is common practice and could be your route in
- SLHD manages 20,000 homes so there's potential for repeat work and contract extension — emphasize your reliability, quick response times, and local knowledge of Doncaster in your bid
- Ask in your tender submission questions about the typical frequency of monthly audits and ad-hoc requests to forecast your actual workload and price accurately — don't assume it's heavily used or you may underprice
