Description

Bickleigh Parish Council invites you to tender for all grass cutting from 1st April 2023 to 31st March 2026.

More information and maps of the area are available at https://www.bickleigh.gov.uk/data/uploads/1550_307368186.pdf

If it would help to have someone go around the area with you, please let us know.

The successful tenderer will be responsible for providing and maintaining necessary machinery, hold any necessary certificates for the work undertaken, and will fully indemnify the Parish Council for any claim whatsoever arising from the work. Please also confirm that you have approval from Devon County Council to work alongside the highway, ie Chapter 8 training.

Please quote for six cuts between April and October inclusive for all areas - and the cost of a one-off additional cut should it be needed during the season. Please state whether the price includes VAT. If your company is able to undertake weed spraying, please include a separate price for weed spraying pavement and road edges once a year.

The Parish Clerk will need notification of each cut being completed within 3 working days of completion of the cut, by email or phone. The successful applicant must produce a copy of their employer's liability insurance and public liability insurance annually.

Please could you also inform us of efforts you are making for net carbon zero.

I would be most grateful if you could return the tender by 5pm on Friday 3rd March 2023.
