£2.5 Million Scaffolding Contract Award with Reading Borough Council

Opportunity

Reading Borough Council published a competitive tender for the provision of scaffolding services across its property portfolio under reference 25-W-158. The three year contract, valued at £2.5 Million, called for a scaffolding contractor able to deliver safe, compliant, and responsive access solutions supporting planned maintenance, responsive repairs, and major works programmes across council managed buildings and housing stock. For any ambitious supplier, an award of this scale represents a stable multi year revenue stream and a flagship public sector reference.

Bid Requirement

The tender was evaluated on a balanced basis, with quality and price each carrying equal weight, preceded by a pass or fail selection questionnaire stage covering financial standing, insurance, health and safety, and relevant experience. Bidders had to evidence full compliance with recognised scaffolding standards including TG20 and TG30, demonstrate robust safety management systems, and provide clear method statements for scaffold design, installation, inspection, and safe dismantling across a wide range of site types. Only a genuinely watertight, well evidenced response could survive this level of scrutiny.

TenderVera Scope

• Full tender response structured against the Council quality and price evaluation model
• Selection questionnaire completion covering financial standing, insurance, and accreditations
• Method statements covering scaffold design, installation, inspection, and safe dismantling
• Health and safety documentation aligned with TG20, TG30, and CDM 2015 requirements
• Evidence portfolio presenting relevant scaffolding and access project experience
• Competitive pricing schedule support and pre submission quality assurance
