Tender Information & Contracts Awarded

As a town council, we periodically look to appoint the additional expertise of consultants, across a wide range of sectors. Whilst we follow national guidelines on procurement, we are keen to use as many businesses as we can within Bridgwater, Sedgemoor and Somerset.

This will not only support businesses in these challenging times, but will also greatly contribute to the Town Council’s Climate Emergency Agenda of reducing the carbon footprint of the goods and services it acquires and provides.

The Town Council is looking to develop a Framework list of local contractors and suppliers that we can call on to commission local goods and services.

If you work in any of the following fields and would like to be considered for future opportunities, we’d like to hear from you:

• Architecture, Lift Access Design, Town Planning, Landscape Design;
• Engineering, Surveying – in the following areas: Docks/Marine environment and Grade II listed buildings;
• Project Management;
• Major refurbishment work to Grade II listed buildings; and
• Solar panels

If you provide a service which is not listed above, please feel free to register your interest as we welcome new talent and expertise.

From the Framework list, a list will be retained by us so that we can identify suitable individuals/companies for particular projects. Upon identification of a potentially suitable project, our Town Clerk may get in touch and invite you to meet a panel of our town councillors and carry out a brief presentation on:

• Previous relevant experience;
• Project approach and methodology;
• Proposed project team and resources you would allocate;
• Management arrangements;
• Timescales;
• Fees/costs; and
• Knowledge of health and safety/equalities legislation, as appropriate.

If you are interested in being included on the Town Council’s Local Framework please complete the application form below and e-mail to: [email protected]

Please be aware that the value of any contracts awarded will be made publicly available.

Thank you for your interest, we look forward to hearing from you.
