    "description": "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 organisation 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 volumes of cleaning services required referred to within this Contract Notice and/or the procurement documents is indicative only and there is no guarantee or warranty of any volumes of cleaning services, 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 and core activities. The estimated contract value for the initial period of 6 months may be in the region of 100,000 GBP to 110,000 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 cleaning 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 3 year period at the current levels. However, based on the initial 6 month period highlighted above and whilst recognising the value may vary, the overall maximum value across the 3 year period could be in the region of 600,000 - 660,000 GBP The award of this contract may involve the transfer of staff pursuant to the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (as amended). Further details are provided as part of the procurement documents. Bidders 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. UKBC will facilitate site visits (in line with COVID-19 distancing, other safety and security requirements) during week commencing 10 May 2021. A maximum of 2 people per bidding organisation will be permitted on an accompanied site visit. Please e-mail the dedicated tenders box (tenders@ukbiocentre.com) as soon as possible to register your request for a site visit. UKBB will incorporate a standstill period at the point the decision in relation to the award of the contracts is notified to bidders. The standstill period, which will be a minimum of ten (10) calendar days, provides time for unsuccessful bidders to lodge an appeal in regards to the award decisions, before the contracts are entered into (MT Ref:223980)",
