The tender wants a liaison method, not a promise
A paragraph saying you will write to neighbours does not score. A page the client can open, with the notices and the complaint log, is something the evaluator can see working.
For contractors tendering for consented sites
A consent under Section 61 comes with conditions on hours, methods and how neighbours are kept informed, and the tender wants to see how you will meet them. Noisy Neighbour is the answer you can show: a public page for the site, dated notices for every noisy operation, and a log of each complaint with when it was dealt with.
Piling starts on Monday. Weekdays 8am to 6pm, as consented. No Saturday work.
Dust from the cutting on the road side is reaching our front windows.

Sound familiar?
A paragraph saying you will write to neighbours does not score. A page the client can open, with the notices and the complaint log, is something the evaluator can see working.
The consent says neighbours get notice of piling and breaking-out. If the only evidence is a letter the foreman thinks he dropped through doors, a complaint to the officer is your word against theirs.
Environmental health acts on the complaints that reach it. The complaints that reach you first, and are answered the same day with a dated reply, rarely get that far.
How it works
Nothing for neighbours to install. The QR code opens a web page, and everything happens on that page.
01
Enter the address, the hours the consent allows and your company name. The page shows the public exactly what was consented, which is the first thing an officer asks about.
02
Piling from Monday, breaking-out on Thursday. Each notice is dated and emailed to every neighbour who has joined, so giving notice is evidenced as well as done.
03
A neighbour's report reaches your team directly. The reply, the fix and the time it took are recorded, and the neighbour confirms it is sorted. That log is what you hand the officer.

Set up the site pageQuestions

You choose. The share link opens the page to anyone who has it, so you can give the environmental health officer the same view your client has. Nothing is sent to the council automatically.
No. It is the method and the evidence. If your consent requires letters, you still send them; the page records that notice was given, when, and to whom it was emailed.
No. The QR code opens an ordinary web page. A neighbour who wants the notices by email leaves an address; everyone else just reads the page.
