This contract is for Trafalgar Housing Association to arrange regular gutter cleaning, roof inspections, roof‑anchor testing and any small repair work that results, aimed at maintaining the safety and condition of their housing stock.
Requirements
- Demonstrated experience in gutter cleaning, roof inspection and roof‑anchor testing
- Qualified personnel with relevant health & safety training (e.g., CSCS, PASMA)
- Public liability insurance and employer’s liability insurance meeting the buyer’s minimum limits
- Ability to carry out minor roof repairs safely and in compliance with building regulations
- Provision of a written health & safety method statement and risk assessment
- Compliance with any social value or sustainability criteria set by the association
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Perform scheduled (e.g., quarterly) cleaning of all gutters on the association’s properties
- Conduct visual roof inspections and produce inspection reports for each property
- Carry out roof‑anchor load testing in accordance with BS 8306 or equivalent standard
- Document test results and certify anchor compliance
- Carry out any minor repairs identified during inspections (e.g., replace broken flashing, reseal joints)
- Provide a final service report summarising work completed, issues found and remedial actions taken
How to Read This Tender
- 1Read the ‘Scope of Work’ section carefully – it defines the frequency (periodic) and the exact deliverables (cleaning, inspection, testing, minor repairs).
- 2Check the ‘Eligibility & Qualification’ part for required certifications, insurance levels and health‑and‑safety documentation – missing any of these will disqualify your bid.
- 3Look for the ‘Evaluation Criteria’ – many public‑sector contracts score on price, quality, and social value, so be ready to evidence each.
- 4Pay attention to the ‘Contract Duration & Schedule’ – understand how many sites, the expected timeline and any key milestones for reporting.
- 5Note any mandatory forms or templates (e.g., risk assessment template) that must be submitted with your bid to avoid administrative rejection.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you lack capacity for all sites, consider partnering with another local firm to share the workload while still meeting the SME threshold.
- Highlight any community‑benefit activities (e.g., employing local apprentices) as social value – this can boost your score against larger competitors.
- Keep your bid concise and focus on the mandatory requirements; over‑complicating with unnecessary extras can raise perceived cost and risk.
