Commercial spray tender checklist

Clear tender packs produce clearer prices. Use this checklist when inviting a spray finishing package into a refurbishment or envelope programme.

Design and survey inputs

Elevations or room schedules, approximate areas, substrate notes, photos, and any known previous coating system.

Access and programme

MEWP/scaffold assumptions, out-of-hours needs, live tenant constraints, and interface dates with cladding or decorating trades.

Documents to request

RAMS, COSHH, TDS/SDS, public liability evidence (£5m on our side), and method statements matched to the site — not generic PDFs only.

Specification clarity

Colour references, sheen, inclusions/exclusions, and whether test patches are required before full mobilisation.

Variation triggers

Agree how latent corrosion, incompatible existing coatings or access changes will be priced if survey differs from tender assumptions.
