That's right on my patch. Do you have to put in a bid for all of them?
That being the case, too many eggs in one basket for me. Dai

Yes, you have to bid on all of them. It is all or nothing.

I hate this nation wide coverage thing. It's a load of cr@p for all concerned. Has anyone who's took the financial plunge to offer it ever kept one of these contracts more than two years running? I worked for one of these outfits a few years back, just doing ASDA's from Stafford to Wisbeach. Loads of work for cr@p money. The gaffer was a dick and it all ended up in a massive bumpfest. Local work for local window cleaners!!

I have often wondered about the financial sense of these contracts. Post offices = bad parking, miles between each job. How the hell do they make them pay. The only way I can see is to sub the work to local guys and take a cut. All that extra admin and hassle. I'd like to hear what Dan Blythin say's about this one. It's near his patch too. And he's all commercial. Dai
