Telehandlers DPS
Framework Description
London and Quadrant Housing Trust's Telehandlers DPS (reference Head Office 00001792) buys telehandlers, classed as lifting and handling equipment, for L&Q's construction work. It is a supplies DPS set up for 48 months under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, running until 21 February 2029. It accepts new suppliers throughout, through L&Q's In-tend portal.
Context & Use Case
L&Q and its construction arm, Quadrant Construction Services, need telehandlers on site to move materials during new build projects. Instead of sourcing ad hoc, they compete each requirement among admitted suppliers, comparing availability, price and service. The DPS sits alongside L&Q's other plant and site DPSs for mast hire and site accommodation.

Who Can Apply
Plant hire companies, dealers and suppliers of telehandlers and lifting and handling equipment. As a DPS, it is open to new suppliers until 21 February 2029, with the Standard Selection Questionnaire as the first-stage requirement.
Buyer Benefits
Several admitted suppliers give L&Q choice on availability and price whenever a site needs a telehandler, reducing the risk of delays. Checks at admission cover financial standing and compliance, and open admission lets L&Q add suppliers with depots near new developments.
Next Steps
Create an account on L&Q's In-tend portal (Quadrant Construction), search for the Telehandlers DPS, express interest and complete the Standard Selection Questionnaire. Prepare fleet details, LOLER inspection and maintenance records, operator training arrangements, insurance and delivery coverage. L&Q will only correspond with suppliers through the portal.
How Athena Can Help
Plant suppliers often find selection questionnaires slower than the hire itself. Athena's framework and DPS applications service completes your L&Q SSQ and checks it so you are admitted without delays.
Once on, our hire pricing strategy helps you quote rates that win repeat requirements, and our bid audit of construction buyers shows which other housing and public sector plant DPSs you should target next. We can also check your first quotes for compliance before they go to L&Q, so nothing is lost on technicalities.
