Medium Complexity

The University of Wales Trinity Saint David (UWTSD) needs contractors to handle furniture removal, relocation, clearance, and disposal of bulky waste across their buildings. This is split into three separate contracts (called Lots), and they'll pick one contractor per Lot to be on call whenever they need these services.

Requirements

  • Ability to provide furniture removal services across UWTSD's estate (multiple locations)
  • Capability to relocate furniture between buildings or sites
  • Bulky item disposal and waste clearance services
  • Availability to work on a call-off basis (work when the University needs it, not a fixed schedule)
  • Must be able to handle work under one of three Lots (specific details in full tender documents)
  • Likely requirement for appropriate waste disposal licenses and environmental compliance
  • Check full tender documents for insurance, health & safety, and sustainability requirements specific to each Lot

Key Tasks & Deliverables

  • Remove furniture from University buildings on demand
  • Transport and relocate furniture to new locations within the University estate
  • Clear and dispose of bulky waste items responsibly
  • Provide services across multiple University sites as requested
  • Respond to call-off requests within agreed timeframes
  • Handle three different service categories split across three Lots (exact scope for each Lot in detailed specification)

How to Read This Tender

  • 1Understand what 'call-off basis' means: you're not doing continuous work — instead, the University contacts you when they need furniture moved or cleared, and you provide the service. This is different from a fixed-term contract where you do the same thing every week.
  • 2The contract is split into three 'Lots' — find out what each Lot covers (e.g. Lot 1 might be 'furniture relocation', Lot 2 might be 'general clearance', Lot 3 might be 'specialist disposal'). You can bid for one, two, or all three Lots depending on your capability.
  • 3Check the full specification document carefully for volume expectations, response times, and pricing structure — call-off contracts usually have a unit rate or day rate that applies each time they call you.
  • 4Look for any sustainability or environmental requirements, especially around waste disposal — universities typically have strict waste recycling and environmental policies.
  • 5Identify the University's estate size and locations — if they have campuses across Wales, make sure you can service all of them or clarify geographic boundaries before bidding.

Tips for Small Businesses

  • If you're small, consider whether you can handle call-off work with variable demand. You need enough capacity to respond when they call, but won't have guaranteed weekly work. Some SMEs subcontract this type of work from larger firms or partner with local waste disposal companies to share the load.
  • Emphasize your response time and flexibility in your bid — universities value contractors who can mobilize quickly during term breaks or building transitions. This is where small, local contractors often beat larger competitors.
  • Check if any Lot or geographic area is a natural fit for your existing operations or equipment — bid only for the Lots you're genuinely set up to handle well. It's better to win one Lot you can deliver excellently than lose a bid for three Lots you're stretched to cover.
