The tender is governed by the council’s stated terms and conditions; bidders agreeing to submit alternative or amended terms may have their quotations rejected. The requirement is below the relevant threshold. This opportunity suits a suitably qualified construction or civil engineering contractor with the practical capability to deliver culvert works at an industrial estate. It is particularly relevant to smaller firms and voluntary, community or social enterprises, which the buyer identifies as suitable participants. The main commercial filter is location: the bidding business must be based in Greater Manchester, Lancashire or West Yorkshire.
