Suppliers in these lots may specialise in various work streams such as:
- Scaffolding

Our Clients will advise of their requirements and the location(s) of the work when they wish to conduct a ‘mini competition’ and it is at this stage we will contact you to give you the opportunity to bid for the work. Additional checks will be conducted by SEC and the client at this stage to make sure Suppliers at suitable for the work required.
Our Clients may only wish to have individual work items completed on an adhoc basis, or they may wish to enter into a formal contract covering their requirements over a specified timescale. We are aiming to provide as much flexibility for both Suppliers and Clients alike by operating in this way. Where a formal contract is required to cover a period of time, we will provide this information at ‘mini competition’ stage.
It is anticipated that for this type of work, our Clients will provide their requirements along with a specification and a methodology for how they want the work priced.

This will only be determined at ‘mini competition’ stage and we will ensure you are provided with the relevant information to price the work.
Our Clients may wish to ask for additional information at ‘mini competition’ stage such as references, accreditations or some form of quality assessment, but this will only be determined by the Client at this stage.
