Plant Hire Tenders
Who Commissions Plant Hire Tenders?
Plant hire tenders are released regularly and can be commissioned by a wide range of organisations. These can include;
- Local Authorities
- Government Departments
- Utilities Companies
- Procurement Organisations
- Educational Establishments
Tenders are often released in conjunction with large scale engineering or construction projects that require the plant. There are also framework opportunities within the plant hire sector. Public sector procurement organisations such as YPO have built frameworks for the purchase and hire of plant and equipment. Frameworks such as this can be utilised by local authorities, emergency services, educational establishments and other member organisations. More info can be found at https://www.ypo.co.uk.
What Topics Are Usually Covered in a Plant Hire Tender?
Plant hire tenders are normally either based on the plant being supplied and operated by the bidder, or for just the plant equipment.
Question sets for plant hire tenders can be sizeable and cover a range of topics, including:
- Communication – what processes do you have in place to communicate effectively regarding plant hires, breakdowns etc.
- KPIs – these impose targets to be achieved such as response times to call-outs, complaints and other issues, and the systems and structures you have in place to address these.
- Deliveries – your ordering and delivery processes, including technical infrastructure and geographic coverage.
- Organisational Structure & Account Management – details of the key staff you will allocate to the delivery of the contract, with information about their roles and responsibilities, qualifications, training and key skills.
- Fleet Type & Size – the array of plant and equipment you have available to offer that will meet the needs of the commissioner, as well other fleet vehicles that are available to service/maintain the plant.
- Case Studies – detailed examples of where you have delivered similar contracts in the past and the success of these. It’s useful to include details of similar aims, objectives and outcomes with a description of how you fared against these and if there were any issues, how these were overcome.
Commissioners may also seek evidence and assurances beyond the narrative such as BS and/or ISO accreditations.
