Notice Title

Maintenance of Client Side Installations and Plant within 64 Victoria Street

Notice Description

The provision of maintenance services for 64 Victoria Street for the 10 floors occupied by the Contracting Authority

Lot Information

Lot 1

UK Parliament intends to contract with Vertex Services Group Limited for the provision of building maintenance services to 10 floors of 64 Victoria Street occupied by the Contracting Authority consistent with its responsibilities under the lease. The maintenance will be provided for a period of 5 years, at an estimated cost of GBP 80,000 per annum (GBP 400,000.00 in total).

Procurement Information

UK Parliament has entered into a sub-let arrangement with Westminster City Council for 10 floors of 64 Victoria Street on an internal repairing insuring (IRI) lease basis which imposes on UK Parliament responsibility to maintain and repair the interior parts of the demised premises whilst Westminster City Council is responsible for maintenance and repair of the common areas, shared M&E, exterior and structure of the building. To that end, Westminster City council has a contract with Avison Young as the building managers who have sub-contracted Vertex, following an open competition, to maintain the building including the main plant. In practise, the integral nature of the maintenance arrangements are such that there is no practical way for UK Parliament to meet its maintenance responsibilities as a tenant in a safe and integral manner and from a technical compatibility and interface perspective with the overall building systems by means other than via the Landlord's pre-existing maintenance contractor, Vertex. Accordingly, Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) "competition is absent for technical reasons" is deemed to apply.
