Summary of the contracting process

The current active tender, titled "Framework Agreement for the provision of planned and reactive works," is led by Simply Serve Ltd, a subsidiary of Somerset NHS Foundation Trust. This procurement process is open and aims to establish a multi-supplier framework agreement for drainage, flooring, and electrical works across Somerset NHS Foundation Trust and Somerset Council sites. The framework is divided into three lots: planned and reactive drainage, flooring, and electrical works, with a total maximum value of £10,000,000 (excluding VAT) to cover potential call-off contracts over eight years. The tender period concludes on 19th January 2026, with an award period ending on 23rd March 2026. The procurement mainly targets the UKK23 region within the United Kingdom and uses an open procedure, inviting broad participation from qualifying suppliers.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses, especially SMEs and VCSEs, in the construction and maintenance services sectors. With the procurement framework focusing on both planned and reactive maintenance services, companies skilled in drainage, flooring, and electrical works can engage with public sector clients like Somerset NHS Foundation Trust and Somerset Council. The open framework allows for multiple suppliers per lot, increasing competition and business growth potential. Additionally, the detailed service requirements provide clarity, potentially benefiting well-established firms capable of promptly executing these contracts and delivering high-quality work per the specified standards.

Notice Title

Framework Agreement for the provision of planned and reactive works

Notice Description

This framework covers both reactive and planned maintenance services for drainage, flooring, and electrical systems across Somerset NHS Foundation Trust and Somerset Council sites. Contractors will deliver emergency call-outs, routine repairs, and scheduled works in compliance with the specification. The framework will be split into the following three lots: - Lot 1 - Planned and Reactive Drainage Works - Lot 2 - Planned and Reactive Flooring Works - Lot 3 - Planned and Reactive Electrical Works The maximum total value of this framework is PS10,000,000 excluding VAT. This figure is not an estimate of anticipated spend; it has been intentionally set at a higher level to ensure sufficient capacity for all potential call-off contracts over the full maximum framework term of eight years.

Lot Information

Lot 1 - Planned and Reactive Drainage Works

Contractors must be capable of delivering a full range of reactive drainage services, including emergency unblocking of internal and external drainage systems using mechanical and high-pressure water jetting methods. Planned drainage works will include the development and implementation of annual maintenance schedules tailored to the specific needs of each site.
