Hotel Accommodation Services

Notice Description

UKBC is seeking the provision of hotel accommodation in Milton Keynes for UKBC staff. UK Biocentre requires sufficient hotel rooms to meet demand, to the standards set out in the Specification. It is currently anticipated that up to approximately 100 rooms per night, 7 days per week, may be required (please note that no projected forecasts of hotel room requirements (whether set out in this Contract Notice or otherwise) are either warranted or guaranteed by UK Biocentre). Hotels must be within 7.5 miles or 15 minutes' drive of UK Biocentre, which is located in Tilbrook near Milton Keynes (postcode MK7 8AT). They must also be within 7.5 miles or 15 minutes' drive of a railway station. There must be amenities such as a supermarket or other shops within walking distance from the relevant accommodation. Further requirements and full details are set out in the Specification forming part of the procurement documents, accessible via www.mytenders.co.uk. Additional information: UK Biocentre reserves the right to discontinue or delay the procurement process and may decide not to award a contract as a result of this call for competition. UK Biocentre shall not be liable for any costs or expenses incurred by any bidder in considering and/or responding to the procurement process. Tenders and supporting documents must be priced in pounds sterling and all payments made under the contract will be in pounds sterling, unless otherwise advised. Any volume of hotel rooms referred to within this Contract Notice and/or the procurement documents is indicative only and there is no guarantee or warranty of any hotel room volumes, particularly given that the position in relation to Covid-19 testing, and the Government's response to it, continues to evolve. The service will need to be flexible to support UK Biocentre in its testing activities. The estimated contract value for the initial period of 6 months may be in the region of 1,000,000 GBP to 1,250,000 GBP but the value may vary (and therefore may be lower or higher than this range) given that we cannot currently accurately predict Covid-19 activity and, consequently, the volume of hotel rooms required. As such, it is not possible to provide an overall maximum estimated value for the contract given the evolving nature of the Covid-19 pandemic and whether the contract will be extended up to the maximum 1 year period. However, based on the initial 6 month period highlighted above and whilst recognising the value may vary, the overall maximum value could be in the region of 2.5 - 3 million GBP NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at https://www.mytenders.co.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=219937. The buyer has indicated that it will accept electronic responses to this notice via the Postbox facility. A user guide is available at https://www.mytenders.co.uk/sitehelp/help_guides.aspx. Suppliers are advised to allow adequate time for uploading documents and to dispatch the electronic response well in advance of the closing time to avoid any last minute problems.
