Description

Gawsworth Parish Council is committed to providing our residents with a well-maintained community and wish to find a new contractor or contractors to undertake a range of parish maintenance duties across our area.

The full specification for the works is detailed in the table below. The contact is divided between two areas, the "Grounds" tasks and the "Ranger" tasks. We may consider letting these as two separate contracts. We also welcome tender submissions for the whole or any parts of the specification and based on submissions will determine the most appropriate way to award the contract(s) which could include a single or multiple contractors - we do not have a preference, we just want to ensure a quality and value for money service.

Tenders should be submitted by email to clerk@gawsworthpc.org.uk by 21st April 2023.

Tenders must include the following:
a) A completed pricing schedule
b) A background to the contractor
c) Names/contact information for two references
d) Confirmation of public liability insurance (min £5m)

The Parish Council will evaluate tenders based on:

Price the lowest price tender shall score the highest
Quality the highest perceived quality shall score the highest
References References will be reviewed in advance of any tender award
Locality after consideration of price and quality the council will favour contractors with a local connection, cascading from Gawsworth > Macclesfield/Congleton > Cheshire. For the avoidance of doubt, price and quality are most important factors and we will gladly place business with companies from outside this cascade.
