The brief

The Office of Road and Rail (ORR) identified the Wareham Level Crossing around 2008/9 as needing safety measures.

2.3.

The crossing offers a step free level crossing of the rail lines, there are currently no suitable accessible alternatives which means that the crossing is a vital link to the local community.

Dorset Council required the provision of crossing attendants for Wareham level Crossing over a five-year term.

The Level Crossing is to be open from 06:00 to 00:00, seven days a week.

Crossing attendants are based on site with duties carried out from a cabin that is within the gated bounds of the crossing.

Crossing attendants should be suitably aware of rail safety and general Health & Safety.

This was a further competition from the CCS Security - Physical, Technical and Support Services RM6257, lot 2 Guarding Services.

Matched against the notice text, so this is a floor — the tender pack will demand things the notice never mentions. “Says must” means the quoted sentence itself used obligation language; anything ambiguous is left as a mention.
