Call the council and ask how to get on their approved contractor list.

What Stephen said.

Different authorities work in different ways. Some have a very ad hoc attitude. Many, now, have an overall contractor who manage the road network for them, (Carillion, Skanska, Interserve etc.), who either have their own teams or sub-contract the work out. The work for these big boys you typically have to be AA approved and beyond. We recently sent 70+ working documents and policies to Skanska as part of their on-going PQQ contracting system.

Being a CHAS accredited contractor will doubtless help too...and of course comes automatically when you get ARB Approved these days (as does TrustMark approval.)

 

Gis a shout if u want, or need, to know more.

 

cheers..

Highways work in West Sussex is pretty much sown up by two companies and again in my experience ALL works for LA's within West Sussex is either on a tender basis or contract basis.

 

As Paul said, any accreditation will go along way, I'm AAAC and don't bother with any tenders nowadays as the big boys tend to go in soooo much cheaper than I ever could.

 

Get all your tickets regarding traffic lights, first aid etc and ping an email to the procurement dept and see what happens.
